Table 1. Means (SD) for age, neuroticism, individually set shock intensity, and gender ratio.

Group	Age	Neuroticism	Shock intensity (mA)	Gender ratio (F/M)
Day 1	21.76 (2.17)	7.33 (4.65)	2.29 (1.06)	13/8
Day 8	22.21 (2.88)	8.17 (5.69)	2.28 (0.99)	12/7
Day 8 reminder	21.70 (2.92)	5.95 (5.27)	2.25 (0.99)	12/8

Figure 3. Mean US-expectancy ratings during the acquisition (A1-12) and test phase (T1-T2). Error bars represent standard errors of the mean.

Figure 4. Generalisation indices (GIs), i.e. ratios GS:CS of ratings provided during the test phase. GIs reflect the percentage of generalisation from the CS to the GS. Error bars represent standard errors of the mean.
