中文摘要：

恐惧泛化与多种焦虑障碍的病理基础密切相关。例如创伤后应激障碍个体往往持续地逃避与创伤事件有关的刺激,遭受着创伤痛苦折磨。本文在厘清知觉辨别与恐惧泛化关系的基础上,着力于高级认知过程（分类与概念相似性、典型性和人工概念）对恐惧泛化的影响,回顾了恐惧泛化的相关神经机制,并揭示恐惧泛化对焦虑障碍患者的临床治疗启示。未来研究应将知觉和高级认知维度的恐惧泛化进行整合研究,同时扩充恐惧习得和泛化的神经回路,以促进人类恐惧泛化更深入的研究。

英文摘要：

The acquisition of fear is of vital importance to the survival of humans and animals, which can help individuals realize danger and then defend rapidly. Since acquired fear stimuli can take many forms, it is necessary to generalize conditioned reflexes to other potentially dangerous stimuli. Although the appropriate generalization of fear is conducive to adapting to the changing environment, excessive generalization will seriously affect our daily life and can even lead to post-traumatic stress disorder （PTSD）, phobia （Phobia）, obsessive-compulsive disorder （obsessive-compulsive disorder, OCD） or other anxiety disorders. Thus, fear acquisition and generalization is crucial in the field of psychology. Pavlovian conditioning is a classical paradigm to study the topic of fear generalization. In classical fear conditioning, a neutral stimulus that pairs with the aversive event acquires aversive properties. Furthermore, other similar stimulus can also elicit a fear response. It＇s worth noting that human beings, unlike animals, have the ability to integrate the previous knowledge and experience and use the concepts of classification to learn fear. The generalization of fear by humans, divided into several parts （perception, classification, and concep0, is introduced in this paper. Different parts have different experimental procedures. The similarity of concepts and the typicality of classified members can promote the gradient and intensity of fear generalization. However, perceptual generalization research scarcely speaks to the role of conceptual meaning while conceptual generalization research rarely addresses the importance of physical form. In real life, these two factors often together work at the same time to promote the generalization of fear. It is helpful for us to understand the essence of anxiety disorders by integrating the two kinds of research. Fear generalization is determined by pattern completion versus pattern separation processes. With respect to generalization of higher order fear
