Funded Activity Summary

The Effects of Early Experiences: A Developmental Analysis of Learning and Memory. The aim of this project is to increase our understanding of fear and anxiety. Anxiety disorders, which are characterised by the inability to appropriately regulate fear, are among the most prevalent psychological disturbances in industrialized countries, with between 10-30% of the population suffering from one at some point in their life. Because of this, there has been a long-standing interest in the experimental study of learned fear. The present project takes a developmental approach because many theories of anxiety disorders emphasise the role of early experience. From this perspective, it is imperative that we have an understanding of developmental differences in the processes involved in the emotion of fear.
