Don’t look now! Oculomotor avoidance as a conditioned disgust response.

Abstract: Pavlovian conditioning paradigms have revealed fear learning tendencies that may be implicated in the etiology and maintenance of anxiety disorders. Given the prominence of disgust in certain anxiety disorders, it may be fruitful to study disgust learning in addition to fear learning. The present study utilized eye tracking to examine the effects of disgust conditioning on attentional bias, a phenomenon that characterizes anxiety disorders. Participants completed either a disgust condition, in which a face (co… Show more

“…Given prior findings that individual differences in disgust sensitivity predict facets of conditioned disgust responding (Armstrong et al, 2014; Mason & Richardson, 2010 Olatunji et al, 2013), we tested the possibility that group differences in conditioned disgust responding were mediated by disgust sensitivity. Because our hypotheses regarded conditioned responding to the CS+ and not the CS−, we focused on responding to the CS+ and did not repeat the analyses for the CS−.…”

However, there is a wealth of conditioning research on distaste , the food-rejection reflex that is considered to be a precursor to disgust (Rozin & Fallon, 1987).…”

Contamination sensitivity was also a better predictor of reaction times to disgust and fear words than happy words.…”
