Answer:

While people are viewing high-arousal unpleasant images, their startle response is is larger and high.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • IAPS abbreviated as the "International Affective Picture System" is a system used to measure the emotions of the subject and it has been characterized principally along the extent of valence, dominance and arousal.
  • When the people are subjected to high-arousal unpleasant negative images such as fear,attack images,anger and sadness,the startle reflexes are evoked and result in larger responses of emotions.
