    Abstract: Learning new, and regulating existing, emotional responses are two intimately connected survival functions that enable us to flexibly adapt in a constantly changing world. Basic and clinical research has long documented the behavioral effects of these functions in humans and other animals. Here, we survey recent developments in the research on the transmission of emotionally relevant information. In particular, we discuss experiments using behavioral and neurobiological methods to examine how fear and safety information is transmitted between individuals through observation. We discuss how these findings can be understood in light of studies of empathy and mental state attributions and present a simple neurobiological model of emotional learning and regulation that is compatible with empirical evidence in psychology and neuroscience. We close by outlining a few outstanding challenges for future research on social learning and regulation.
