A meta-analysis of transdiagnostic cognitive behavioural therapy in the treatment of child and young person anxiety disorders [PDF]
, 2013 Background: Previous meta-analyses of cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) for children and young people with anxiety disorders have not considered the efficacy of transdiagnostic CBT for the remission of childhood anxiety.

Systems with Almost Specification Property May Have Zero Entropy [PDF]
arXiv, 2015 It is shown that there exist systems having almost specification property and zero entropy. Since Sigmund has shown that systems with specification property must have positive entropy, this result reveals further the difference between almost specification and specification.

Cortisol levels in response to starting school in children at increased risk for social phobia [PDF]
, 2011 Background: Research on depression has identified hyperactivity of the HPA axis as a potential contributory factor to the intergenerational transmission of affective symptoms. However, this has not yet been examined in the context of social phobia. The

A Numerical Procedure for Proving Specific Strict One-Variable Inequalities in Specific Finite Intervals [PDF]
arXiv, 2017 A numerical procedure and its MAPLE implementation capable of rigorously, albeit in a brute-force manner, proving specific strict one-variable inequalities in specific finite intervals is described. The procedure is useful, for instance, to affirm strict lower bounds of specific functions.

Spiders Based on Anxiety: How Reinforcement Learning Can Deliver Desired User Experience in Virtual Reality Personalized Arachnophobia Treatment [PDF]
arXivThe need to generate a spider to provoke a desired anxiety response arises in the context of personalized virtual reality exposure therapy (VRET), a treatment approach for arachnophobia. This treatment involves patients observing virtual spiders in order to become desensitized and decrease their phobia, which requires that the spiders elicit specific ...

One-sided almost specification and intrinsic ergodicity [PDF]
arXiv, 2016 Shift spaces with the specification property are intrinsically ergodic, i.e. they have a unique measure of maximal entropy. This can fail for shifts with the weaker almost specification property. We define a new property called one-sided almost specification, which lies in between specification and almost specification, and prove that it guarantees ...

Self-Guided Virtual Reality Therapy for Anxiety: A Systematic Review [PDF]
arXivVirtual reality (VR) technology can be used to treat anxiety symptoms and disorders. However, most VR interventions for anxiety have been therapist guided rather than self-guided. This systematic review aimed to examine the effectiveness and user experience (i.e., usability, acceptability, safety, and attrition rates) of self-guided VR therapy ...
