Test-retest reliability of eye tracking during the visual probe task in cocaine-using adults. [PDF]
Drug Alcohol Depend, 2014 Stimuli associated with cocaine use capture attention. Evidence suggests that fixation time measured on the visual probe task is a valid measure of cocaine cue attentional bias. The aim of this experiment was to demonstrate the test-retest reliability of cocaine cue attentional bias as measured by fixation time during the visual probe task.In a within ...

Failed attempts to improve the reliability of the alcohol visual probe task following empirical recommendations. [PDF]
Psychol Addict Behav, 2018 Introduction: The Visual Probe Task (VPT) is a computerised task commonly used to measure attentional bias to substance-related stimuli. Despite concerns it demonstrates poor reliability and internal consistency little research has examined its psychometric properties. These issues can reduce confidence in inferences based on VPT performance.

Mood & alcohol-related attentional biases: New considerations for gender differences and reliability of the visual-probe task. [PDF]
Addict Behav, 2015 Alcohol-related attentional biases are positively associated with drinking history and may represent a mechanism by which alcohol use behavior is maintained over time. This study was designed to address two unresolved issues regarding alcohol-related attention biases.

Experimental control of conflict in a predictive visual probe task: Highly reliable bias scores related to anxiety [PDF]
Acta Psychologica, 2021 Concerns have been raised about the low reliability of measurements of spatial attentional bias via RT differences in dot-probe tasks. The anticipatory form of the bias, directed towards predicted future stimuli, appears to have relatively good ...

Non-threatening other-race faces capture visual attention: evidence from a dot-probe task. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Visual attentional biases towards other-race faces have been attributed to the perceived threat value of such faces. It is possible, however, that they reflect the relative visual novelty of other-race faces.
