Fear Models in Animals and Humans
... Although Pavlovian fear conditioning is a powerful model for understanding fear across species, it requires direct experience with an aversive event. In humans, many of our fears are learned through social means without direct aversive experience. For instance, a common phobia is fear of germs. Alth ...
