An integrative review of attention biases and their contribution to treatment for anxiety disorders
Explore this paper's citation graph
Summary
The evidence reviewed here suggests that that attention biases assessed at pre-treatment might actually predict improved response to treatment, and in particular that prolonged engagement with threat as measured in tasks such as the dot probe is associated with greater reductions in anxious symptoms following treatment.
