The ability to process stimuli that convey potential threat, under conditions of limited
attentional resources, confers adaptive advantages. This study examined the neurobiology …

Anxiety is exceedingly prevalent among individuals with an autism spectrum condition
(ASC). While recent literature postulates anxiety as a mechanism encompassing an …

Threat learning elicits robust changes across multiple affective domains, including changes
in autonomic indices and subjective reports of fear and anxiety. It has been argued that the …

Background Behavioral inhibition (BI) is an early-appearing temperament trait and a robust
predictor of social anxiety disorder (SAD). Both BI and anxiety may have distinct patterns of …

Background: Cognitive models propose that attentional biases to threat contribute to the
maintenance of social anxiety disorder (SAD). However, the specific characteristics of such …

Aberrant fear learning processes are assumed to be a key factor in the pathogenesis of
anxiety disorders. Thus, effective behavioral interventions to reduce dysfunctional fear …

Processing of unattended threat-related stimuli, such as fearful faces, has been previously
examined using group functional magnetic resonance (fMRI) approaches. However, the …

The present study examined whether automaticity, defined here as independence from
attentional modulation, is a fundamental principle of the neural systems specialized for …

Anxious individuals have a greater tendency to categorize faces with ambiguous emotional
expressions as fearful (Richards et al.,). These behavioral findings might reflect anxiety …

It is unclear how threat‐related attentional biases affect multiple attention systems. This
study used a new modification of a reaction time paradigm to examine whether inter‐trial …
