Cognitive theories of depression posit that selective attention for negative information
contributes to the maintenance of depression. The current study experimentally tested this …

Depressed individuals show maintained attention to negative information and reduced
attention for positive information. Selective biases in information processing are considered …

Background and objectives Biased attention to negative information is a mechanism for risk
and relapse in depression. Attentional bias modification (ABM) paradigms manipulate …

Background and objectives Negative attentional biases are often considered to have a
causal role in the onset and maintenance of depressive symptoms. This suggests that …

One of the most common symptoms of depression is the tendency to attend to negative
stimuli in the world and negative thoughts in mind. This symptom is especially nefarious …

Using a computational network approach, we reanalyzed data from a randomized controlled
trial of attention bias modification (ABM) tasks on residual depression symptoms. The main …

Selective attention for dysphoric stimuli has been observed in individuals with depression
and those at risk for depression. To date, no studies have investigated the effects of directly …

Attentional bias to negative information has been considered as a vulnerability factor for
depression, enhancing susceptibility and maintenance of this disorder. Biased attention has …

BACKGROUND: Negative attentional biases are thought to increase the risk of recurrence in
depression, suggesting that reduction of such biases may be a plausible strategy in the …

Selective attention biases are believed to be one of the cognitive vulnerabilities to
depression. This study examined two types of attention biases, namely attention facilitation …
