“…In addition to the studies reported above, a number of studies have employed classical conditioning paradigms in order to pair unconditioned stimuli with aversive/appetitive stimuli. Similar to the studies reported above, these investigations report rapid effects of conditioned valence starting from 50 ms after stimulus onset, both for abstract stimuli (Hintze, Junghöfer, & Bruchmann, 2014;Stolarova, Keil, & Moratti, 2006) and stimuli with biological relevance (Pizzagalli, Greischar, & Davidson, 2003;Rehbein et al, 2014;Rehbein et al, 2015). Interestingly, a number of these studies have shown that even rapid effects are not merely based on modulations in sensory areas, but also involve activations in prefrontal areas (Hintze et al, 2014;Steinberg, Bröckelmann, Rehbein, Dobel, & Junghöfer, 2013).…”
