Abstract
⺠Fear conditioning is widely held to be a model for pathogenesis of anxiety disorders. ⺠We discuss a few limitations of the human fear conditioning paradigm in that regard. ⺠We propose to assess conditioned action tendencies as a key component of fear. ⺠We argue that conditioning research should rely more on indirect indices of fear. ⺠We suggest to focus on weak situations, in particular selective learning paradigms.
