Repeated response execution and inhibition alter subjective preferences but do not affect automatic approach and avoidance tendencies toward an object [PDF]
Background Repeated action or inaction toward objects changes preferences for those objects. However, it remains unclear whether such training activates approach-avoidance motivation toward the objects, which leads to actual behavior.

A Bayesian hierarchical diffusion model decomposition of performance in Approach–Avoidance Tasks [PDF]
Common methods for analysing response time (RT) tasks, frequently used across different disciplines of psychology, suffer from a number of limitations such as the failure to directly measure the underlying latent processes of interest and the inability to take into account the uncertainty associated with each individual's point estimate of performance.

Measurement of food-related approach–avoidance biases: Larger biases when food stimuli are task relevant [PDF]
Strong implicit responses to food have evolved to avoid energy depletion but contribute to overeating in today's affluent environments. The Approach-Avoidance Task (AAT) supposedly assesses implicit biases in response to food stimuli: Participants push pictures on a monitor "away" or pull them "near" with a joystick that controls a corresponding image ...

Achievement goals, self-handicapping, and performance: A 2 × 2 achievement goal perspective [PDF]
Elliot and colleagues (2006) examined the effects of experimentally induced achievement goals, proposed by the trichotomous model, on self-handicapping and performance in physical education.

Dual-feature AAT: Combining relevant- and irrelevant-feature approach-avoidance tasks
The Approach-Avoidance Task (AAT) is used to measure and modify approach and avoidance (AA) tendencies which are important in various mental disorders. To date, 46 participants were either instructed to move stimuli in the AAT depending on the content/valence, or depending on a feature that is unrelated to the content and valence.

Achievement after failure : The role of achievement goals and negative self-related thoughts [PDF]
Theory on achievement goals favours a trichotomous model encompassing learning goals, performance-approach, and performance-avoidance goals. Performance-avoidance goals are associated with lower achievement compared to performance-approach and learning ...
