What type of trauma tends to produce discrete conditioned behavioral and biological responses to reminders of the trauma?

Complex Trauma (Chronic)
Isolated Trauma (Acute)
ACES
Psychological Maltreatment

The correct answer is: Isolated Trauma (Acute)

Isolated Trauma (Acute) tends to produce discrete conditioned behavioral and biological responses to reminders of the trauma. Acute trauma refers to a single, specific traumatic event that is usually time-limited and has a clear onset. This type of trauma may lead to immediate, intense responses but can also have a higher likelihood of successful recovery compared to ongoing or chronic traumas. In contrast, complex trauma (chronic) involves exposure to multiple and varied traumatic events, often of an interpersonal nature, over an extended period. ACES (Adverse Childhood Experiences) refer to potentially traumatic events that occur in childhood and are associated with negative long-term outcomes. Psychological maltreatment involves emotional abuse or neglect that can have long-lasting effects on a person's emotional well-being.
