Anxiety and attention to threat: Cognitive mechanisms and treatment with attention bias modification [PDF]

Behaviour Research and Therapy, 2016
Anxiety disorders are common and difficult to treat. Some cognitive models of anxiety propose that attention bias to threat causes and maintains anxiety. This view led to the development of a computer-delivered treatment: attention bias modification (ABM) which predominantly trains attention avoidance of threat.

Attentional bias modification based on visual probe task: methodological issues, results and clinical relevance

Trends in Psychiatry and Psychotherapy, 2015
Introduction: Attentional bias, the tendency that a person has to drive or maintain attention to a specific class of stimuli, may play an important role in the etiology and persistence of mental disorders.

Relapse prevention in abstinent alcoholics by cognitive bias modification: Clinical effects of combining approach bias modification and attention bias modification. [PDF]

Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, 2018
Alcohol-dependent patients show attentional and approach biases for alcohol-related stimuli. Computerized cognitive bias modification (CBM) programs aim to retrain these biases and reduce relapse rates as add-ons to treatment. Retraining of alcohol-approach tendencies has already yielded significant reductions of relapse rates in previous studies, and ...

Limited generalisation of changes in attentional bias following attentional bias modification with the visual probe task [PDF]

Cognition and Emotion, 2015
Although attentional bias modification (ABM) can change anxiety, recent studies failed to replicate such effects, possibly because the visual probe ABM failed to induce changes in attentional bias (AB). We investigated whether visual probe ABM generalised to different measures of AB besides the visual probe task (VPT), and thus whether ABM genuinely ...

Cognitive bias modification for energy drink cues.

PLoS ONE, 2019
Energy drink consumption is increasing worldwide, especially among young adults, and has been associated with physical and mental health problems. In two experiments, we tested the prediction that energy drink consumption is in part driven by biased ...

Spatiotemporal brain dynamics underlying attentional bias modifications [PDF]

International Journal of Psychophysiology, 2018
Exaggerated attentional biases toward specific elements of the environment contribute to the maintenance of several psychiatric conditions, such as biases to threatening faces in social anxiety. Although recent literature indicates that attentional bias modification may constitute an effective approach for psychiatric remediation, the underlying ...

Efficacy of the Chinese version interpretation bias modification training in an unselected sample: A randomized trial.

PLoS ONE, 2021
Training individuals to interpret ambiguous information in positive ways might be an effective method of reducing social anxiety. However, little research had been carried out in Chinese samples, and the effect of interpretation training on other ...

The effects of a visual search attentional bias modification paradigm on attentional bias in dysphoric individuals

Journal of Behavior Therapy and Experimental Psychiatry, 2013
Attentional Bias Modification (ABM) may constitute a new type of treatment for affective disorders. ABM refers to computerized training programs that have been developed based on laboratory findings in experimental psychology. Meta-analyses have reported moderate effect sizes in anxiety disorders.

Attentional bias modification for addictive behaviors: clinical implications [PDF]

CNS Spectrums, 2014
When a person has a goal of drinking alcohol or using another addictive substance, the person appears to be automatically distracted by stimuli related to the goal. Because the attentional bias might propel the person to use the substance, an intervention might help modify it.

Does neurocognitive function affect cognitive bias toward an emotional stimulus? Association between general attentional ability and attentional bias toward threat

Frontiers in Psychology, 2014
Background: Although poorer cognitive performance has been found to be associated with anxiety, it remains unclear whether neurocognitive function affects biased cognitive processing toward emotional information. We investigated whether general cognitive
