The inducement of fear took place at the lab using shock electrodes. The subjects later would be exposed to that stimulating environment and the record kept on different time intervals. This was again repeated after a year.
The destabilization of fear memory takes longer time but with familiarizing the subject with such environment, it takes relatively shorter time. Normally, trauma is hard to overcome but with time it fades away
In the results, the subject shows differing capability on memory recovery depending on the set time frame. Those that took longer time show a greater fear recovery unlike the others who timeframe set is relatively ...Download file to see next pagesRead More
