Abstract
Unlike combat veterans with PTSD, adolescent girls with PTSD who report exaggerated startle may not have exaggerated baseline acoustic startle responses in the laboratory. Further research should explore whether girls with PTSD demonstrate altered startle responses under stress and/or evidence of other types of psychophysiological abnormalities.
