PsPM-HRA1: Skin Conductance Responses in Fear Conditioning

PsPM-HRA1 includes skin conductance response measurements, stimulus information, and behavioral responses from 20 healthy participants. The dataset was collected by Dominik R. Bach at University College London for a classical discriminant delay fear conditioning task. Participants were 10 males and 10 females aged 22.2±4.0 years.

Use Cases

• Modeling skin conductance response dynamics based on stimulus timing and intensity parameters
• Analyzing behavioral response correctness and latency based on keypress data
• Studying individual differences in shock ratings and physiological reactivity
• Training classifiers to discriminate conditioned responses based on visual stimulus color variation

Strengths

• Includes data from 20 participants with balanced gender distribution (10 males, 10 females)
• Provides precise stimulus parameters: electric shock train width of 500 ms and SOA of 3.5 s
• Contains multiple response modalities: physiological (SCR), behavioral (keypress), and subjective (shock ratings)

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified
