The effect of attention on body size adaptation and body dissatisfaction

Royal Society Open Science, 2022
Attentional bias to low-fat bodies is thought to be associated with body dissatisfaction—a symptom and risk factor of eating disorders. However, the causal nature of this relationship is unclear.

Combining fMRI during resting state and an attention bias task in children

NeuroImage, 2020
Neuroimaging studies typically focus on either resting state or task-based fMRI data. Prior research has shown that similarity in functional connectivity between rest and cognitive tasks, interpreted as reconfiguration efficiency, is related to task ...

Now you see it, now you don't: Relevance of threat enhances social anxiety-linked attentional bias to angry faces, but relevance of neutral information attenuates it.

PLoS ONE, 2022
Temporary goals modulate attention to threat. We examined whether attentional bias to angry faces differs depending on whether a temporary background goal is neutral, or threat related, whilst also measuring social anxiety.

Measuring Biases of Visual Attention: A Comparison of Four Tasks

Behavioral Sciences, 2020
Attention biases to stimuli with emotional content may play a role in the development and maintenance of anxiety disorders. The most commonly used tasks in measuring and treating such biases, the dot-probe and spatial cueing tasks, have yielded mixed ...

Psychometric Properties of COVID-19 Dot-probe Task in Iranian Adults [PDF]

Practice in Clinical Psychology, 2021
Objective: After the COVID-19 outbreak, corona anxiety has become prevalent all over the world. To understand and treat this type of anxiety, researchers have examined its relationship with attentional bias, a phenomenon closely associated with other types of anxiety. The dot-probe task is a common instrument used for the evaluation of attentional bias.

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.

What does the dot-probe task measure? A reverse correlation analysis of electrocortical activity. [PDF]

Psychophysiology, 2018
AbstractThe dot‐probe task is considered a gold standard for assessing the intrinsic attentive selection of one of two lateralized visual cues, measured by the response time to a subsequent, lateralized response probe. However, this task has recently been associated with poor reliability and conflicting results.

No Evidence of Reliability Across 36 Variations of the Emotional Dot-Probe Task in 9,600 Participants. [PDF]

Clin Psychol Sci
The emotional dot-probe task is a widely used measure of attentional bias to threat. Recent work suggests, however, that subtraction-based behavioral measures of emotional dot-probe performance may not be appropriate for measuring such attentional biases because of poor reliability.

Furious snarling: Teeth-exposure and anxiety-related attentional bias towards angry faces. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2018
Dot-probe studies consistently show that high trait anxious individuals have an attentional bias towards threatening faces. However, little is known about the influence of perceptual confounds of specific emotional expressions on this effect.

TRANSFERABLE INHIBITION OF DIRECT SUPPRESSION: EVIDENCE FROM A DOT-PROBE TASK

PSYCHOLOGIA, 2021
Previous studies on the Think/No-Think (TNT) paradigm have demonstrated that retrieval stopping causes later forgetting. Although precise mechanisms of this retrieval stopping effect have come under scrutiny, a recent study (Hertel & Hayes, 2015) has provided a signpost finding; that is, in a flanker task subsequent to a TNT task, ratings of words ...
