Eggs in more than one basket: Mediating mechanisms between evolution and phobias
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 18 (2):310-311 (1995)
Abstract
The evolutionary origin of phobias is strongly supported by behavioral genetics and monkey vicarious conditioning data. Prepared Pavlovian conditioning may be only one of the mechanisms mediating the evolutionarily determined outcome in phobias, avoidance. Davey's alternative biased expectancy hypothesis has merit in accounting for some aspects of laboratory data, but it is insufficient to explain the unconscious origin of phobic fear.Other Versions
