The Startle Reflex and Emotion
Response matching hypothesiso Startle reflex is a defensive response
o The magnitude of the reflex is INCREASED when the organism is fearful (fear potentiated startle; FPS)
o The magnitude of the reflex is DECREASED when the organism is “feeling good”***
![Page 6: StartleReflex.ppt - PowerPoint Presentation](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081518/5493317eb479594c5c8b465e/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Measurement of the Startle Reflex
Measurement
o Elicited with brief burst of white noise (“startle probe”) presented over headphones
o Eyeblink response is indexed by recording electrical activity in the orbicularis oculi muscle

Habituation of the Startle Reflex
Bradley, M. M., Lang, P. J., & Cuthbert, B. N. (1993). Emotion, novelty, and the startle reflex: Habituation in humans. Behavioral Neuroscience., 107(6), 970-980.
Previous research with both animal and human Ss has shown that startle reflex magnitude is potentiated in an aversive stimulus context, relative to responses elicited in a neutral or appetitive context. In the present experiment, the same pleasant, unpleasant, and neutral picture stimuli were repeatedly presented to human Ss. Startle reflex habituation was assessed in each stimulus context and was compared with the habituation patterns of heart rate, electrodermal, and facial corrugator muscle responses. All systems showed initial differentiation among affective picture contents and general habituation over trials. The startle reflex alone, however, continued to differentiate among pleasant, neutral, and unpleasant pictures throughout the presentation series. These results suggest that (1) the startle probe reflex is relatively uninfluenced by stimulus novelty, (2) the startle modulatory circuit (identified with amygdala-reticular connections in animals) varies systematically with affective valence, and (3) the modulatory influence is less subject to habituation than is the obligatory startle pathway or responses in other somatic and autonomic systems.

Stress Response Dampening Model
o Alcohol intoxication produces a direct, pharmacological suppression of activity in the defensive (fear/anxiety) system.
o Therefore, alcohol consumption is reinforcing -- particularly when consumed in stressful contexts.

o Alcohol intoxication reduces “attentional capacity” (Alcohol myopia)
o Alcohol focuses attention on the most salient stimuli in the environment
o If the most salient stimulus in the environment is pleasant, stress response will be reduced
o Note: If most salient stimulus is stressor, stress response will be increased

Fear vs. Anxiety
Grillon, C., Davis, M., & Phillips, R. G. (1997). Fear-potentiated startle conditioning in humans: Explicit and contextual cue conditioning following paired versus unpaired training. Psychophysiology, 34, 451-458.
Conditioned fear in response to explicit and contextual cues was examined using the startle reflex in 3 groups of college students ( N = 58) over 2 sessions separated by 4-5 days. The CS was paired with an aversive unconditioned stimulus (UCS; shock) during conditioning in the paired but not in the unpaired group. In the reaction time (RT) group, the UCS was a nonaversive visual signal for an RT task. In the paired group, the CS potentiated startle in the postconditioning phase. This conditioned response was fully retained over the retention interval. There was no substantial change in baseline startle (startle delivered in the absence of CS). By contrast, startle was not potentiated by the CS in the unpaired group, but baseline startle was increased from Session 1 to Session 2. In the RT group, startle was not affected by the CS, and baseline startle was reduced from Session 1 to Session 2. These results suggest that paired presentations of a CS and an aversive UCS result in conditioned fear in response to the CS but little contextual fear, whereas unpaired presentations of a CS and UCS lead to poor explicit cue conditioning but substantial contextual fear.

Affective Consequences of Active Coping
Miller, Curtin, & Patrick, 1999o Examined active vs. passive coping in a threat paradigm
o 4 groups Active tapping (contingent blasts) Passive tapping (yoked/non-contingent) Passive no-tapping (yoked) Control tapping (no blasts)
o Task included string of 30 asterisks during CS+ and CS- trials: Tapping during CS+ for tapping groups Blasts (.5s, 115dB) during CS+ for threat groups
o Used airpuff as startle probe
