Physiological and psychological effects of escape from a sunken submarine on shore and at sea.

29 Sep 2009 INTRODUCTION: The stress effects induced by diverse military scenarios are usually studied under tightly controlled conditions, while only limited research has addressed realistic scenarios. This study was designed to compare the effects of two ... Read more...

From threat to fear: the neural organization of defensive fear systems in humans.

28 Sep 2009 Postencounter and circa-strike defensive contexts represent two adaptive responses to potential and imminent danger. In the context of a predator, the postencounter reflects the initial detection of the potential threat, whereas the circa-strike is ... Read more...

Using descriptive assessment in the treatment of bite acceptance and food refusal.

10 Aug 2009 The feeding behaviors of two children who maintained failure to thrive diagnoses and displayed food refusal are assessed in their homes. Descriptive assessments are used to identify schedules of consequence provided by each child's care providers ... Read more...
