Although theory suggests that a bias for attending to threat information (ABT) may be a
biobehavioral process underlying the transdiagnostic vulnerability factor of emotion …

Despite the established evidence for threat-related attention bias in anxiety, the mechanisms
underlying this bias remain unclear. One important unresolved question is whether disorder …

Acutely challenging or threatening situations frequently require approach-avoidance
decisions. Acute threat triggers fast autonomic changes that prepare the body to freeze, fight …

Attentional threat bias (ATB) has been suggested as one factor leading to maintenance and
exacerbation of posttraumatic stress symptoms (PTSS). In the present study, attentional …

Although attentional biases to threatening information are thought to contribute to the
development and persistence of anxiety disorders, it is not clear whether an attentional bias …

Although biases toward signals of fear may be an evolutionary adaptation necessary for
survival, heightened biases may be maladaptive and associated with anxiety or depression …

The aim of the present study was to question untested assumptions about the nature of the
expression of Attentional Bias (AB) towards and away from threat stimuli. We tested the idea …

Uncertainty about future threat has been found to be associated with an overestimation of
threat probability and is hypothesized to elicit additional allocation of attention. We used …

Electroencephalogram (EEG) asymmetry in the alpha frequency band has been implicated
in emotion processing and broad approach-withdrawal motivation systems. Questions …

Cognitive models of anxiety propose that selective attention to negative information plays a
causal role in heightened anxiety vulnerability and dysfunction. However, there has been …
