Suffering from Aulophobia?

     

What is Aulophobia?

Aulophobia- Fear of flutes.

A series of experiments were carried out (using skin conductance responses measured electrically as an indication of fear) upon specific phobics and non­ phobic controls. The phobic subjects were fearful of either snakes or spiders.

All the subjects were shown a series of slides, depicting snakes, spiders, flowers and mushrooms. However, some of the pictures were disguised (masked) and unrecognisable because they had been cut up, reassembled at random and re­ photographed.

It was discovered that phobic people showed measurably increased fear in response to both masked and unmasked slides of their particular phobic stimulus, supporting the theory of the existence of pre-attentive mechanisms.
