Is There a Time Balance Between Overgeneralization and Anxiety?

Anxiety is when you start to create spurious relationships between some innocuous environment and an environment relevant to whatever adverse event happened. And that seems to be in a sort of normal way that we encode our memories, time delimited. So within five hours, and they show in this fear conditioning paradigm, if you link the context A and B, there's association. There's a link between them. If you go past five hours, or a day, or seven days, that temporal link is not there. And so then the mouse thinks that the two different contexts are separate.
