Is reduced electrodermal fear conditioning from ages 3 to 8 years associated with aggressive behavior at age 8 years?
Results indicate that the relationship between poor fear conditioning and aggression occurs early in childhood. Enhanced electrodermal fear conditioning may protect children against future aggressive/violent behavior. Abnormal amygdala functioning, as indirectly assessed by fear conditioning, may be one of the factors influencing the development of childhood aggression.
Timed walking tests are valid measurements to predict community walking in Parkinson's disease. However, evaluation of community walking should include an assessment of fear of falling.
