Resumen

Cabe esperar que nuestra experiencia previa respecto a un estímulo predictor de un daño facilite la identificación posterior de ese estímulo cuando el daño ocurre de nuevo. Se sometió a 48 voluntarios a ambas fases de esta secuencia de hechos: aprendizaje de la relación predictiva y facilitación posterior. Se emparejó una cara con expresión neutra (EC+) con una descarga eléctrica moderadamente aversiva y otra (EC-) con un tono neutro. Posteriormente se sometieron esas dos caras, mezcladas con otras antiguas y nuevas, a juicios de familiaridad. Tanto la cara EC+ como la cara EC- iban precedidas de un estímulo aversivo (prime aversivo) en una ocasión y de un estimulo neutro (prime neutro) en otra. El juicio de familiaridad respecto al EC+ fue más rápido tras el prime aversivo que tras el prime neutro, pero no hubo diferencia en el caso del EC-. El efecto diferencial del prime aversivo sobre el EC+ y el EC- mostró una correlación significativa, aunque pequeña, con la respuesta de conductancia de la piel diferencial al EC+ y al EC- (aprendizaje de señal), y con la evaluación diferencial en términos de agrado-desagrado de uno y otro estímulo (aprendizaje evaluativo). Se discute el alcance de estos resultados y la utilidad del modelo metodológico.
