Fear-potentiated Startle

Fear-Potentiated Startle is a psychophysiological phenomenon in which the magnitude of the startle reflex is selectively enhanced by the presence of a fear-conditioned stimulus or threat context, differentiating it from baseline startle responses through its dependence on learned or anticipatory fear.
