Thinking like a trader selectively reduces individuals' loss aversion (2009)

Sokol-Hessner, Peter, Hsu, Ming, Curley, Nina G., Delgado, Mauricio R., Camerer, Colin F., Phelps, Elizabeth A.

Research on emotion regulation has focused upon observers' ability to regulate their emotional reaction to stimuli such as affective pictures, but many other aspects of our affective experience are...

Evidence for recovery of fear following immediate extinction in rats and humans (2008)

Schiller, Daniela, Cain, Christopher K., Curley, Nina G., Schwartz, Jennifer S., Stern, Sarah A., LeDoux, Joseph E., ...

Fear responses can be eliminated through extinction, a procedure involving the presentation of fear-eliciting stimuli without aversive outcomes. Extinction is believed to be mediated by new...

Learning fears by observing others: the neural systems of social fear transmission (2007)

Olsson, Andreas, Nearing, Katherine I., Phelps, Elizabeth A.

Classical fear conditioning has been used as a model paradigm to explain fear learning across species. In this paradigm, the amygdala is known to play a critical role. However, classical fear...

Deficits in Recall Following Partial and Complete Commissurotomy (1991)

Phelps, Elizabeth A., Hirst, William, Gazzaniga, Michael S.

There have been reports in the literature of both impaired (Zaidel and Sperry, 1974) and intact (LeDoux et al., 1977) memory performance following callosotomy. In the present article, memory is...

Cognitive skill learning in amnesics / (1989)

Phelps, Elizabeth A.

Thesis (Ph. D.)--Princeton University, 1989.

A combinatorial inequality, Siberian Math (1988)

Lawrence M. Parsons, Elizabeth A. Phelps, Michael S. Gazzaniga

Previous psychophysical and neuroimaging studies suggest that perceiving the handedness of a visually presented hand depends on sensorimotor processes that are specific to the limb of the stimulus...

“Willed action”: A functional MRI study of the human prefrontal cortex during a sensorimotor task

Hyder, Fahmeed, Phelps, Elizabeth A., Wiggins, Christopher J., Labar, Kevin S., Blamire, Andrew M., Shulman, Robert G.

Functional MRI (fMRI) was used to examine human brain activity within the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex during a sensorimotor task that had been proposed to require selection between several...

How personal experience modulates the neural circuitry of memories of September 11

Sharot, Tali, Martorella, Elizabeth A., Delgado, Mauricio R., Phelps, Elizabeth A.

Brown and Kulik [Brown R, Kulik J (1977) Cognition 5:73–99] introduced the term “flashbulb memory” to describe the recall of shocking, consequential events such as hearing news of a...

Eye Movements Predict Recollective Experience

Sharot, Tali, Davidson, Matthew L., Carson, Meredith M., Phelps, Elizabeth A.

Previously encountered stimuli can bring to mind a vivid memory of the episodic context in which the stimulus was first experienced (“remembered” stimuli), or can simply seem familiar...

Avoiding Negative Outcomes: Tracking the Mechanisms of Avoidance Learning in Humans During Fear Conditioning

Delgado, Mauricio R., Jou, Rita L., LeDoux, Joseph E., Phelps, Elizabeth A.

Previous research across species has shown that the amygdala is critical for learning about aversive outcomes, while the striatum is involved in reward-related processing. Less is known, however,...
