Euthymic patients with predominantly manic polarity avoid happy faces in a dot probe task [PDF]
International Journal of Bipolar Disorders, 2022 Background Some studies suggest a mood-congruent attentional bias in bipolar patients. However, for euthymic patients, especially in dependence on the predominant polarity, there is little and inconsistent data. A clearer understanding of emotion-related

Exploring attentional bias towards threatening faces in chimpanzees using the dot probe task. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Primates have evolved to rapidly detect and respond to danger in their environment. However, the mechanisms involved in attending to threatening stimuli are not fully understood. The dot-probe task is one of the most widely used experimental paradigms to

The Study of Security Priming on Avoidant Attentional Biases: Combining Microsaccadic Eye-Movement Measurement With a Dot-Probe Task [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2021 Microsaccades are small fixational eye movements that have shown to index covert attentional shifts. The present experiment combined microsaccades with performance measures from a dot-probe task to study influences of attachment security priming on the ...

Emotional and Attentional Bias in Fibromyalgia: A Pilot ERP Study of the Dot-Probe Task. [PDF]
Neurol Ther, 2021 The present research investigates the neural correlates of attentional bias in fibromyalgia (FM) with a dot-probe task performed during an electroencephalogram (EEG) recording.For this purpose, 30 female participants were recruited, divided into two groups: a group of patients with FM (FM, n = 15, Mage = 51.87) and a healthy control group (HC) (HC, n =

Do Carryover Effects Influence Attentional Bias to Threat in the Dot-Probe Task? [PDF]
Journal of Trial and Error, 2022 Threatening stimuli are often thought to have sufficient potency to bias attention, relative to neutral stimuli. Researchers and clinicians opt for frequently used paradigms to measure such bias, such as the dot-probe task.

Aging Impairs Disengagement From Negative Words in a Dot Probe Task [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2018 Age differences in emotional processes have been of great interest. Previous studies using the dot probe task show that older adults can be more influenced by negative emotionally valenced faces than younger adults.

A Pictorial Dot Probe Task to Assess Food-Related Attentional Bias in Youth With and Without Obesity: Overview of Indices and Evaluation of Their Reliability [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2021 Several versions of the dot probe detection task are frequently used to assess maladaptive attentional processes associated with a broad range of psychopathology and health behavior, including eating behavior and weight.

It occurs after all: Attentional bias towards happy faces in the dot-probe task. [PDF]
Atten Percept Psychophys, 2020 AbstractMany studies have shown that not only threatening but also positive stimuli capture visual attention. However, in the dot-probe task, a common paradigm to assess attention to emotional stimuli, usually no bias towards happy faces occurs. Here, we investigated whether such a bias can occur and, if so, under which conditions.

Implementation of the diffusion model on dot-probe task performance in children with behavioral inhibition. [PDF]
Psychol Res, 2022 Attentional bias to threat, the process of preferentially attending to potentially threatening environmental stimuli over neutral stimuli, is positively associated with behavioral inhibition (BI) and trait anxiety. However, the most used measure of attentional bias to threat, the dot-probe task, has been criticized for demonstrating poor reliability ...

Computational Modeling Applied to the Dot-Probe Task Yields Improved Reliability and Mechanistic Insights. [PDF]
Biol Psychiatry, 2019 Biased patterns of attention are implicated as key mechanisms across many forms of psychopathology and have given rise to automated mechanistic interventions designed to modify such attentional preferences. However, progress is substantially hindered by limitations in widely used methods to quantify attention, bias leading to imprecision of measurement.
