indicates significant main effect of Cue within the acquisition phase (p < .05).
indicates a significant Cue x Phase interaction such that anxiety in response to the CS+ was significantly diminished relative to the acquisition phase, while there was no significant change in anxiety in response to the CS−. Scale: 1 = least anxious, 10 = most anxious.
