Attentional bias to threat cues is most adaptive when the dangers they signal can readily be
controlled by timely action. This study examined whether heightened trait anxiety is …

Anxiety vulnerability is associated with an attentional bias to threat. When threat cues signal
dangers that can be mitigated through behavioural action, vigilance for these threat cues …

This study examined the role of self-reported attentional control in regulating attentional
biases related to trait anxiety. Simple detection targets were preceded by cues labeling …

Attentional biases toward threats (ABTs) have been described in high anxious individuals
and in clinical samples whereas they have been rarely reported in non-clinical samples (,;) …

Cognitive effects of anxiety have been amply documented. Anxiety has been linked with an
attentional bias toward threat, distractibility, and reductions in short-term memory (STM) …

Two experiments evaluated differential predictions from two cognitive formulations of
anxiety. According to one view, attentional biases for threat reflect vulnerability to anxiety; …

Threat-related attentional biases represent a basic survival mechanism. These biases
include an engagement bias involving rapid direction of attention toward threat and a …

High trait anxious individuals tend to show biased processing of threat. Correlational
evidence suggests that executive control could be used to regulate such threat-processing …

There is a wealth of evidence demonstrating enhanced attention to threat in high trait
anxious individuals (HTA) compared with low trait anxious individuals (LTA). In two …

The present study aimed to determine whether persistent threat-related attentional capture
can result from instructional learning, when participants acquire knowledge of the aversive …
