I think we might each be talking to different ends of the extreme here.
> recruitment of FPl when controlling emotional behavior fails in patients with emotional disorders
I won’t comment on people who have emotional disorders, or who have operated in this modality for very long periods of time. I’m more interested in it as a transient mechanism in people without disorders.
- psychphysic 3y agoAh I'm not sure you can extend this study to high anxiety circumstances in otherwise non-anxious people. The executive functions that highly anxious people need to engage are precisely the functions that high stress levels disrupt. This is about low stress situations in anxious people. Not high stress situations in non-anxious people. It's not likely that we can extrapolate between the two. And it's likely under those scenarios a third or more mechanism comes into play (flight, fight, freeze). Not to mention the control were all men so we do need better sample for replication before we consider extrapolation.
- riazrizvi 3y agoIt’s hard to say where the boundary of application lies, I believe. The paper is naturally concise, and experiments typically select potent examples to clarify the phenomena, economically. Without the authors’ clarifying contextual anecdotes, I believe there is a lot of room to interpret.
