The use of virtual reality in acrophobia research and treatment
2009, Journal of Anxiety DisordersCitation Excerpt :In fact, four of the 15 participants gave very low or zero perceived danger ratings for all height tasks at pre-test. These are nevertheless unusual findings since more recent studies (Menzies & Clarke, 1993, 1995c) confirm danger expectancies related to heights as good prediction factors. Menzies and Clarke (1995a) examined differences between participants with acrophobia (n = 59) and without acrophobia (n = 59) regarding their danger expectancies before and during exposure to heights.

Non-associative fear acquisition: A review of the evidence from retrospective and longitudinal research
2002, Behaviour Research and TherapyCitation Excerpt :No differences between groups were found in either the proportion of subjects who knew others who were fearful of heights, the proportion of subjects who had experienced relevant associative-learning events, or in the ages at which these events had occurred. In a subsequent study with a clinical sample, Menzies and Clarke (1995b) sought to replicate these findings with a group of acrophobic sufferers who had sought treatment. This replication was particularly important given Rachman's (1977) hypothesis regarding the possible relationship between onset and response patterns, where he speculated that severe clinical phobias may be more likely to result from direct, traumatic conditioning episodes.
