Název v původním jazyce

Towards an understanding of the cognitive mechanisms involved in threat processing and perception

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Much remains unknown about the cognitive mechanisms and information-processing biases involved in threat detection, and the acquisition and maintenance of threat associations. To complicate matters, these mechanisms and biases are likely to vary for different types of threats, such as those posed by animals, weapons, social situations, or groups. There has been a recent push to identify ways to improve the methods used in research in this area, which has also led to reevaluation of theoretical frameworks. It is therefore important to continue to elucidate the cognitive mechanisms (e.g., perception, attention, memory, learning) underlying threat processing in order to develop a better understanding of how they affect individual and social outcomes. The goal of our Research Topic was to collect research articles that present empirical data and describe novel theoretical perspectives that address the effects of threats on cognitive processes. We sought to include research on how threat processing uniquely affects perception, attention, memory, attitude and evaluation formation, fear (un)conditioning, decision-making, planning and execution of defensive behaviors, and social processes. Another goal was to elucidate the social/cognitive processes that may play an important role in the etiology and maintenance of specific fears and phobias. Our Research Topic has collected nine papers that explore or elucidate the processes and mechanisms affected by threatening stimuli, with the overall goal of contributing to the field&apos;s understanding of the emergence, maintenance, modification, and expression of threat associations.
