4. Briefly comment
Are Traits and States categorically different or do they
instead reflect a continuous spectrum?
For example, might it make sense to conceptualize individual
differences as something like a planet (or an onion), featuring
A CORE: relatively fixed and immutable, slow to change
PLATE TECTONICS: a range of processes that act on
intermediate time scales (more fleeting than traits, more
enduring than states)
AN ATMOSPHERE: transient states, with rapid even
mercurial dynamics

Amygdala Lesions
- block the emotional component of fear
learning (SCR), but not contingency awareness
Hippocampal Lesions
- Opposite pattern
Implication
- Conscious and pre-conscious processes are
independent and reflect distinct neural circuitry

Implication
Behavior is normally guided by both conscious and pre-conscious processes (lie outside of awareness)
Understanding aspects of T&P
that lie outside of conscious awareness
mandates the use of implicit behavioral or physiological measures (e.g. SCR/GSR)
