Still, we know that mental imagery is critically involved in psychopathology, such as PTSD and OCD. Hence, we considered it important to provide a review of the available evidence in fear conditioning. 3/8

We identified 25 studies that focused on 4 different research questions: - Can mental imagery replace stimulus (CS and US) administration? - Can mental imagery inflate conditioned responses? - Can mental imagery reduce CRs? - Can mental images (ie, intrusions) be conditioned? 4/8

We found preliminary evidence for each of the questions. Nonetheless, clearly more research is needed, as the amount of studies is limited (though quickly developing; the majority of studies have been published in the last 5 years). 5/8

From a
#measurement perspective, there is a very interesting opportunity to investigate the interrelation between self-report, physiological, behavioral and neural measures of mental imagery. 6/8Prikaži ovu nit -
Experimentally, more work is needed to compare different control conditions for mental imagery (no imagery, irrelevant imagery, passive imagery, verbal thought, and actual stimulus administration). 7/8

Finally, we believe that the research on mental imagery in fear conditioning relates quite well to contemporary conditioning and episodic memory models that emphasize the role of the representation of future/anticipated threat events. /end
