Description

This dataset includes skin conductance response (SCR) measurements, CS and US information, keypress responses, keypress response times, key correctness and shock ratings for each of 20 healthy unmedicated participants (10 males and 10 females aged 22.2+/-4.0 years) participating in a classical (Pavlovian) discriminant delay fear conditioning task. CS is a visual stimulus appearing in the middle of the screen with variation in color. US is an electric shock as a 500 Hz current pulses train (individual pulse width: 0.5ms, varying current amplitudes (0.90+/-0.63 mA) train width:500 ms). SOA between the CS and US is 3.5 s. The ITI is randomly determined on each trial to be 7, 8, 9, 10 or 11 s. (This was correctly stated in Staib et al. (2015) but wrongly described in Bach et al. (2010).)
