Interaction between age and threat on amplitude of the CS+ during early fear acquisition. Threat exposure significantly interacted with age to predict amplitude of SCR to the CS+ during early fear acquisition controlling for age, gender, IQ, and deprivation. At lower levels of threat, age was associated with increases in physiological differentiation between the CS+ and the CS-. At higher levels of threat, age was unrelated to SCR amplitude to the CS+.
