Avoidance and Exposure therapy

14 December 2015

We are conducting a research on the process of avoidance learning. The session should take no longer than 45mins. You will be required to complete a computer task. In the task, you will be presented with a series of geometrical figures on the screen: triangles and squares. One of these will be followed by an unpleasant electrical stimulation to your arm, whereas the other will not. The electrical stimulation will always be at a level that you find 'uncomfortable but NOT painful'.
