Se revisan las investigaciones llevadas a cabo durante los últimos diez años sobre a) la selectividad, b) aprendizaje en un ensayo, c) resistencia a la extinción, d) irracionalidad, e) aprendizaje simbólico y f) carácter filogenético vs. ontogenético del condicionamient.o «preparado» de miedo en humanos. En rasgos generales, se concluye que, salvo por lo que respecta a la mayor resistencia a la extinción de las respuestas autonómicas condicionadas a los «estímulos relevantes de miedo», no parecen haberse establecido diferencias claras entre el condicionamiento «preparado» y el condicionamiento «no-preparado» de miedo.
