Electrophysiological evidence of attentional biases in social anxiety disorder.
BACKGROUND Previous studies investigating attentional biases in social anxiety disorder (SAD) have yielded mixed results. Recent event-related potential (ERP) studies using the dot-probe paradigm in non-anxious participants have shown that the P1 component is sensitive to visuospatial attention towards emotional faces. We used a dot-probe task in conjunction with high-density ERPs and source lo...
متن کاملSocial reward shapes attentional biases.
Paying attention to stimuli that predict a reward outcome is important for an organism to survive and thrive. When visual stimuli are associated with tangible, extrinsic rewards such as money or food, these stimuli acquire high attentional priority and come to automatically capture attention. In humans and other primates, however, many behaviors are not motivated directly by such extrinsic rewa...
متن کاملAttentional biases in social anxiety and dysphoria: does comorbidity make a difference?
This study examined whether comorbid symptoms influence the attentional biases associated with social anxiety and dysphoria using the Emotional Stroop Task (EST). Participants were recruited into three groups: a Social Anxiety group, a Dysphoric group, and a Social Anxiety/Dysphoric group. Four types of stimulus words were used: social anxiety threat, depressive threat, neutral words, and posit...
متن کاملSocial Anxiety and Attentional Breadth
The amount of information that can be perceived and processed will be partly determined by attentional breadth (i.e., the scope of attention), which might be narrowed in social anxiety due to a negative attentional bias. The current study examined the effects of stimulus valence on socially anxious individuals’ attentional breadth. Seventy-three undergraduate students completed a computerized d...
متن کاملProgressive Focusing: A Top Down Attentional Vision System
The principle of a vision system based on a progressive focus of attention principle is presented. This approach considers the visual recognition strategy as an estimation problem for which the purpose is to estimate both precisely and reliably the parameters of the object to be recognized. The object is constituted of parts statistically dependent one each other thanks to a statistical model. ...
