A comparison of attention bias paradigms related to insomnia
Attentional bias to sleep related stimuli by poor sleepers has been reported as a factor in initiating and maintaining sleep disturbance. In this study, three paradigms (Flicker, Posner, and Stroop) were used in comparison to further investigate the role of attentional biases in Primary Insomnia. …

Personality and attention bias in adults with a history of childhood trauma, and attenuating effects of mu-opioid agonist buprenorphine on attention bias
… and cognitive functioning (specifically, attentional bias) in a sample of adults who had experienced childhood trauma (the Trauma group) and a matched healthy control group. The study also examined the possible effects of the mu-opioid agonist buprenorphine on attentional bias in the …

Attention Bias in Middle Childhood: The Impact of Effortful Control and Temperament
… danger. Factors contributing to the visual attention of threat are therefore informative. Previous research has examined how aspects of temperament and effortful control interact and affect the attention allocated to threats, especially in clinically anxious populations. However, there is a …

ATTENTION BIAS TO CLIMATE CHANGE IMAGES FOLLOWING EMOTIONAL INDUCEMENTS OF PRIDE AND GUILT
… communicated with a stronger understanding of attention. There is much debate regarding how attention is allocated. The present study aimed to alter attention bias towards climate-relevant images using emotional inducements of either pride or guilt, and assess change in attention bias with an …

ELECTROCORTICAL CHANGES FOLLOWING ATTENTION BIAS MODIFICATION IN A SAMPLE OF HIGH-BIPOLAR TRAIT INDIVIDUALS
… Recent research has identified a link between an attentional bias to rewarding feedback and reward sensitivity. Due to this connection, the objective of this study was to investigate the effect of attention bias modification (ABM) on electrocortical markers of attention and reward sensitivity. …

ELECTROCORTICAL CHANGES OBSERVED IN THE N2 AS AN OUTCOME OF ATTENTION BIAS MODIFICATION TRAINING
… Increased anxiety is associated with elevated attentional focus to threat also known as attentional bias to threat. Attention Bias Modification (ABM) is a type of computerized training, attempting to reduce attentional focus for threatening stimuli and has been found to successfully reduce …

CEREBELLUM-SEEDED FUNCTIONAL CONNECTIVITY CHANGES IN TRAIT-ANXIOUS INDIVIDUALS UNDERGOING ATTENTION BIAS MODIFICATION TRAINING
… Anxiety is commonly characterized by increased attention bias to threat. Attention Bias Modification (ABM) is a new treatment used to reduce individual’s attention bias towards threat. The extent to which ABM leads to underlying neural changes is still unknown. The cerebellum is a neglected …

Attention bias for negative semantic stimuli in late life depression and clinical research portfolio
… may have difficulties disengaging visual-spatial attention from negative information. Preliminary studies in depressed older adults provide evidence for the existence of biased attention to negative stimuli. However, the specific components of attention driving the detected bias effects in this …

Testing the emotional value of facial stimuli using attention bias in Rhesus Macaques, Macaca mulatta.
… welfare of theseprimates is a primary concern. Attention bias is a measure of cognitive bias usedto assess whether an individual is stressed. Current methods using attention biasto evaluate the welfare of macaques, use images of conspecifics expressing anaggressive face vs. a neutral face with …

Evaluating Changes in Error-Monitoring Electrocortcial Responses as an Outcome of Attention Bias Modification Training
… anxiety has been associated with enhanced attention bias to threat as well as heightened error-monitoring following an erroneous response. In an effort to reduce an anxious individual’s attention bias to threat, an attention training paradigm known as attention bias modification (ABM) was …

Investigating Steady State Visually Evoked Potentials as a Novel Biosignature for Anxiety-Related Attention Bias
<p>Anxiety-related attention bias (AB), a type of cognitive bias underlying the development and maintenance of anxiety disorders, is typically defined as exaggerated attention towards threat; however, some individuals also demonstrate AB away from threat and in some instances, no detectable AB at …

The effect of genotype on attention bias in rhesus macaques, Macaca mulatta, as a welfare indicator.
… for both ethical and quality-of-science reasons. Attention bias (AB), a measure of cognitive bias, assesses whether an individual is stressed, predicts vulnerability to stress, and identifies the effectiveness of interventions to improve well-being. In both humans and macaques, genetic factors can …

Associations between Fear of Negative Evaluation and Covert and Overt Attention Bias Through Eye-Tracking and Visual Dot Probe
… remediation of intense and unfounded FNE, Attention Bias Modification Treatment (ABMT) targets attention bias. The degree to which FNE and biased attention are related processes is unknown. This study sought to assess the relationship between FNE and two indices of attention bias (dot probe …

EVALUATING THE USE OF SELF-RELEVANT STIMULI IN ATTENTION BIAS MODIFICATION TRAINING AS A TREATMENT FOR ANXIETY: A NEAR-INFRARED SPECTROSCOPY STUDY
<p>Increased attentional bias to threat has been identified as a causal mechanism in the development of anxiety. As such, attention bias modification (ABM) was conceived as a treatment option where anxiety is alleviated through a computerized cognitive training regimen that reduces an individual’s …

The Role of Test Anxiety in Attention Bias to Test Threats in Undergraduates: The Influences of Temperamental Effortful Control and Frontal EEG Asymmetry
… situations. Previous literature has shown that attention biases (AB) to threats are implicated with general anxiety. However, few studies have examined the effect between AB to relevant threats (i.e., testing threats) and test anxiety. This study addressed previous gaps by examining whether …

Stress and alcohol use: An experimental investigation of cognitive mechanisms
… The current study tested one such process, attention bias to alcohol cues, as a mediator in the stressor-alcohol relationship. Thirty-nine participants who endorsed hazardous alcohol consumption patterns were recruited from the community; eligible participants were randomly assigned to a …

Racial discrimination and internalizing psychopathology in African Americans: examining cognitive and affective mechanisms
… cognitive vulnerabilities (i.e., attention bias to threat, inhibition difficulty). A total of 250 African American participants (73% women) completed the study. For anxious arousal, we found the indirect effect of racial discrimination (blatant racism and racial microaggressions) …
