The effect of one-session exposure treatment on selective processing and explicit memory bias in snake- and spider-fearful participants
… of anxiety-induced selective processing bias, research on congruent explicit memory bias is inconclusive; indeed, there is evidence for recall decrements of threat-relevant information. There is also a paucity of literature examining the effects of treatment on these cognitive biases. …

Memory Bias in the Use of Accounting Information: An Examination of Affective Responses and Retrieval of Information in Accounting Decision Making
… has also shown that current judgements are biased toward prior decisions or judgements. These biases may cause current decisions to be suboptimal or dysfunctional. Two 2x2 experiments were conducted to examine four hypotheses. These hypotheses concerned (1) the influence of an affective …

… examined the links between selective attention, memory bias, interpretive bias, and anxiety problems in a community sample of 81 children (38 females) aged 9-17 years. Cognitive biases were assessed using a word and picture Dot Probe Discrimination task to assess selective attention, a memory …

Memory biases in worry
… experimental empirical literature relating to memory biases in Generalised Anxiety Disorder (GAD) is reviewed. Information processing models have suggested that anxious individuals should be characterised by a memory bias towards threat. However, other models have proposed that memory biases …

Processing strategies and recall performance for narrative passages and word lists of negative and neutral affective valence in depression
… individuals have been found to exhibit memory deficits on tasks that require effortful processing. They have also been found to remember negative materials better than their nondepressed cohorts. While these findings are well-documented, there have been few studies designed to examine …

Information processing in major depression: The ERP connection
… in order to test hypotheses about mood-congruent memory biases in normals and depressives while seeking to integrate theories about psychological and neuropsychological views of information processing anomalies seen in major depressives. Specifically, it examined: (1) Relationship of depression …

The processing of stereotype-relevant information during reading
… might be compromised, resulting in an increased memory bias. Experiments 2 and 3 showed that the episodic representations resulting from reading stereotype-relevant sentences are strong and stable enough to cancel out a mismatch effect in a second sentence, unless the stereotypical representation …
