Abstract By observing others’ experiences, humans learn about threats while avoiding firsthand dangers. Yet, previous neuroscience research has focused on observational threats that are predictable. In firsthand learning, temporally predictable and unpredictable threats can be mechanistically discerned. In this study, we developed a novel observational paradigm in which participants learned from predictable and unpredictable observational threats, as well as a no-threat condition.
