Pavlovian-conditioned inhibition fMRI task. Adapted from Laing et al. (2021). Six stimulus configurations were presented during conditioning. The transfer test occurred immediately following conditioning and featured the two safety signals (inhibitor X and standard C) combined with a conditioned threat cue (D⁺). Between each CS trial, the ITI (8-12 s) featured a fixation cross. Participants assigned affective ratings for stimuli X, C, D, and the fixation cross immediately following the test phase, providing measures of subjective positive affect and anxious arousal.
