Basic fear conditioning and testing procedures. (a) Fear conditioning involves training an animal to fear a neutral conditioned stimulus (CS) such as an auditory cue by having it signal an aversive unconditioned stimulus (US) such as an electrical shock. (b) Memory for fear conditioning is tested by presenting the conditioned stimulus alone and measuring fear responses.
