“…VRT has been shown to be more effective than treatment as usual or waiting list control, and has similar results as conventional CBT and or in vivo exposure. The available evidence varied depending on the mental health disorder reviewed, and our results confirm that multiple sessions treatment protocols of VRT can be a valuable treatment for agoraphobia with or without panic disorder (Malbos et al, 2013;Meyerbroeker et al, 2013;Pelissolo et al, 2012;Penate-Castro et al, 2014;Pitti et al, 2015); fear of flying (Malbos et al, 2013;Meyerbroeker et al, 2013;Pelissolo et al, 2012;Penate-Castro et al, 2014;Pitti et al, 2015); social anxiety and fear of public speaking (Anderson et al, 2013;Safir et al, 2012); and spider phobia (Shiban et al, 2015a;Shiban et al, 2013;Shiban et al, 2015b). Also promising are the findings regarding the use of VRT for PTSD (Difede et al, 2014;Rothbaum et al, 2014;Smith et al, 2015a); and for the management of psychological stress (Gaggioli et al, 2014).…”

The aim of this paper is to provide a review of controlled studies of the use of Virtual Reality in psychological treatment (VRT). Medline, PsychInfo, Embase and Web of Science were searched. Only studies comparing immersive virtual reality to a control condition were included. The search resulted in 1180 articles published between 2012 and 2015, of these, 24 were controlled studies. The reviewed studies confirm the effectiveness of VRT compared to treatment as usual, and show similar effectiveness when VRT is compared to conventional treatments. Current developments and future research are discussed.

“…Conklin & Tiffany, 2002;Dawe, Rees, Mattick, Sitharthan, & Heather, 2002;Drummond & Glautier, 1994;Kavanagh et al, 2006). Multiple-context cue-exposure therapies may improve treatment outcomes (Shiban, Pauli, & Mühlberger, 2013;Shiban, Schelhorn, Pauli, & Muehlberger, 2015) and this effect could be mediated either through a reduction in protection from extinction or by increasing the number of stimulus elements that could exert occasion-setting control (Glautier et al, 2013). However, some suggestions for improving cue-exposure therapy seem more likely to be effective for inhibitors than for non-inhibitors.…”

There is a revised version at https://osf.io/uspdb/ In the current investigation we classified participants as inhibitors or non-inhibitors depending on the extent to which they showed conditioned inhibition in a context thathad been used for extinction of a conditioned response. This classification enabled us to predict participant responses in a second experiment which used a different design and a different experimental task. In the second experiment a feature-negative discrimination survived reversal training of the feature to a greater extent in thenon-inhibitors than in the inhibitors and this result was supported by Bayesian analyses. We propose that the fundamental distinction between inhibitors andnon-inhibitors is based on a tendency to utilise first-order (direct associations) or second-order (occasion-setting) strategies when faced with ambiguous information andthat this classification is a stable individual differences attribute.

“…For example, a standard conditioned inhibition test may simply sort participants according to preferred strategy (first or second order) rather than measuring conditioned inhibition strength per se complicating analysis of the relationship between conditioned inhibition and other types of inhibition. (Shiban, Pauli, & Mühlberger, 2013;Shiban, Schelhorn, Pauli, & Muehlberger, 2015) and this effect could be mediated either through a reduction in protection from extinction or by increasing the number of stimulus elements that could exert occasion-setting control (Glautier et al, 2013 The relative values of the distributions is given at δ = 0 and the 95% Bayesian credible interval is given around the mean of the posterior distribution.…”

In the current investigation we classified participants as inhibitors or non-inhibitors depending on the extent to which they showed conditioned inhibition in a context that had been used for extinction of a conditioned response. This classification enabled us to predict participant responses in a second experiment which used a different design and a different experimental task. Our results were repeated in two replications and supported by Bayesian analyses. In the second experiment a feature-negative discrimination survived reversal training of the feature to a greater extent in the non-inhibitors than in the inhibitors. We propose that the fundamental distinction between inhibitors and non-inhibitors is based on a tendency to utilise first-order (direct associations) or second-order (occasion-setting) strategies when faced with ambiguous information and that this classification is a stable individual differences attribute.
