Self-­‐professed snake-­‐o-­‐phobes are shown slides of
snakes interspersed with slides that say ‘shock’. After
every ‘shock’ slide, a shock is administered.
All the while, subjects hear a sound recording of

when, the shock slides are shown.
Experimental group is told that the thumpings are the
output of a heart monitor (control group told that
they are simply incidental noises).
Members of the experimental group are more willing
to approach snakes after conclusion of the
experiment.
