LOOKING UNDER THE HOOD OF THE DOT-PROBE TASK: AN fMRI STUDY IN ANXIOUS YOUTH [PDF]
Depression and Anxiety, 2014 Anxious youth have shown altered behavioral performance on the dot-probe task, but neural activation patterns provoked by the task remain poorly understood. In particular, neural mechanisms of threat disengagement, a clinically relevant construct, have been inadequately explored.During fMRI acquisition, 121 youth (ages 9-13; 90 with Generalized Anxiety

Electrocortical evidence for rapid allocation of attention to threat in the dot-probe task [PDF]
Social Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience, 2015 Threatening stimuli have been shown to preferentially capture attention using a range of tasks and measures. However, attentional bias to threat has not typically been found in unselected individuals using behavioral measures in the dot-probe task, one of the most common ways of examining attention to threat.

It occurs after all: Attentional bias towards happy faces in the dot-probe task [PDF]
Attention, Perception, and Psychophysics, 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.

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.

Orienting bias towards electronic nicotine delivery system (ENDS) cues [PDF]
Addictive Behaviors ReportsBackground: Abnormal attentional biases for tobacco cues have been observed in the dot-probe task. With a recent increase in electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS) use, researchers have investigated the effect of ENDS use on early and later stages ...

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 =

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 ...

Empirical recommendations for improving the stability of the dot-probe task in clinical research. [PDF]
Psychol Assess, 2015 The dot-probe task has been widely used in research to produce an index of biased attention based on reaction times (RTs). Despite its popularity, very few published studies have examined psychometric properties of the task, including test-retest reliability, and no previous study has examined reliability in clinically anxious samples or systematically

Royal Society Open Science, 2023 Studies suggest that an attentional bias to thin bodies is common among those with high levels of body dissatisfaction, which is a risk factor for, and symptom of, various eating disorders.

The Rise and Fall of the Dot-Probe Task: Opportunities for Metascientific Learning
Seeds of Science, 2022 Much of the extensive literature on spatial attentional bias is built on measurements using the dot-probe task. In recent years, concerns have been raised about the psychometric properties of bias scores derived from this task. The goal of the current paper is to look ahead and evaluate possible responses of the field to this situation from a ...
