Fear plays an essential role in helping us know when it’s time to get out of a sticky situation. Yet not everything we fear is life-threatening. That’s because fear can also be taught through conditioning, a process by which our brains associate a sound, sight, or other sensation with imminent danger. Take quacking. Most of us don’t have a deep-set fear of ducks. But get shot by a nerf-gun enough times while someone plays a recording of quacking, and you may just learn to make a run for it when you hear a duck approaching.
