Distress is not delicious: Appetitive conditioning is weaker with high psychological distress by Laurens T. Kemp, Tom Smeets, Anita Jansen, Katrijn Houben

“…However, studies on conditioning typically only study either appetitive or aversive conditioning in the context of psychopathology, and they are poorly integrated. In this study, 80 healthy volunteers performed both an appetitive and an aversive conditioning task, in which they associated complex 3D objects with appetitive or aversive tastes. …”
