“…[9][10][11]13,22 It can provide standardized and controlled environments, and scenes can be repeated to achieve therapeutic goals. 23,24 Moreover, exposure to virtual environments bridges the gap between an imagined situation and a real one; it allows the patient to be exposed to anxiety-generating stimuli as if he or she were in a real situation. 25,26 When treating those with social phobia, live exposure is a more difficult procedure to perform, as social situations are variable and unpredictable, which makes building hierarchies for gradual and repeated exposure more difficult.…”

Objective: To test a potential treatment for social phobia, which provides exposure to phobia-inducing situations via computer-generated, three-dimensional images, using an open clinical trial design. Methods: Twenty-one patients with a DSM-IV diagnosis of social phobia took part in the trial. Treatment consisted of up to 12 sessions of exposure to relevant images, each session lasting 50 minutes. Results: Improvements in social anxiety were seen in all scales and instruments used, including at follow-up 6 months after the end of treatment. The average number of sessions was seven, as the participants habituated rapidly to the process. Only one participant dropped out. Conclusion: This study provides evidence that exposure to computer-generated three-dimensional images is relatively inexpensive, leads to greater treatment adherence, and can reduce social anxiety. Further studies are needed to corroborate these findings.

“…For example, previous research has shown that fear extinction in multiple contexts results in less renewal of fear relative to extinction a single context (Shiban, Pauli, & Muhlberger, 2013;Vansteenwegen et al, 2007).…”

“…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.
