“…Attentional bias modification trainings have been developed and successfully applied to anxiety disorders to reduce sensitivity to threat . A series of studies has shown the potential to retrain attention toward compassionate images of others and away from rejecting stimuli in people with low self‐esteem . These paradigms could be used to reduce oversensitivity to power issues within social relationships in EDs and increase attention to compassionate images of others.…”

“…Although this provides a necessary manipulation check and allows initial tests of mechanisms of action, it does not provide information about changes in cognitive processing beyond the confines of a particular paradigm. Of those studies that did include independent measures, results have been mixed regarding generalization of cognitive change, with some studies finding generalization (CBM-A [44,45,54,60,94]; CBM-I [65,71,77,79]) and others not (CBM-A [95]; CBM-I [74,81,84,96]). The lack of generalization found in some studies could suggest that CBM may not change cognition in real-world situations.…”

Cognitive bias modification (CBM) is an innovative approach to modifying cognitive biases that confer vulnerability to anxiety. CBM interventions are designed to directly modify attention and interpretation biases via repeated practice on cognitive tasks. Analogue studies have demonstrated that CBM affects cognitive biases and anxiety in a number of anxiety conditions. Multisession CBM treatments have shown preliminary efficacy for generalized social phobia and generalized anxiety disorder, with effect sizes comparable to existing treatments. However, with any newly developing field, there are a number of important limitations of the existing data that need to be addressed before making firm conclusions regarding CBM’s efficacy for anxiety disorders. This article focuses on the theoretical rationale for CBM and the current evidence from analogue and clinical samples.

“…Recent developments in the clinical and individual differences literature suggest that persons with high trait anxiety or a clinical anxiety disorder display an attentional bias towards threat stimuli (for reviews see Bar-Haim, Lamy, Pergamin, Bakermans-Kranenburg, & van IJzendoorn, 2007;Cisler & Koster, 2010;Mathews & MacLeod, 2002). These findings have critical implications for understanding the cognitive origins of anxiety (e.g., MacLeod, Rutherford, Campbell, Ebsworthy, & Holker, 2002) as well as providing the impetus for new interventions through attentional training (e.g., Dandeneau & Baldwin, 2009;See, MacLeod & Bridle, 2009). The test anxiety literature has somewhat lagged behind these developments and it has yet to be established whether test anxiety, like clinical and high trait anxiety, is also characterised by an attentional bias towards corresponding threat stimuli.…”
