Cognitive Bias Modification and Cognitive Control Training in Addiction and Related Psychopathology (2013, background): “Anxious people show an AB for threatening stimuli (Mathews & MacLeod, 2005), as do heavy drinkers for alcohol (Field & Cox, 2008).”
Sensory Imagery in Craving: From Cognitive Psychology to New Treatments for Addiction (2012, background): “Development of attentional biases in addiction (Field & Cox, 2008) increases the likelihood that drug-related stimuli will be processed, and so trigger the intrusive thoughts that lead to substance craving, but there is no direct link.”
THE PERSISTENCE OF POVERTY IN THE CONTEXT OF FINANCIAL INSTABILITY: A BEHAVIORAL PERSPECTIVE (2015, background): “Although we often decide what to attend to, some stimuli are automatically salient or flagged as motivationally salient by reward-processing mechanisms in the brain (Field & Cox, 2008; Knudsen, 2007), which can then hijack our attention, despite conflicting goals.”
Integrating psychological and neurobiological considerations regarding the development and maintenance of specific Internet-use disorders: An Interaction of Person-Affect-Cognition-Execution (I-PACE) model. (2016, neutral): “Even clearer findings were observed in patients with hypersexual behavior compared to healthy volunteers during performance of a Visual-Probe Task; individuals with hypersexual behaviors showed greater attentional bias to explicit sexual stimuli relative to neutral pictures (Mechelmans et al., 2014)”
Implicit Cognition and Addiction: A Tool for Explaining Paradoxical Behavior (2010, methodology): “Most of this research has been conducted in populations of older teenagers and adults, using indirect tests such as the implicit association test (IAT), word production, and several other tasks.”
A Meta-Analytic Investigation of the Relationship Between Attentional Bias and Subjective Craving in Substance Abuse (2009, methodology): “This result is consistent with predictions made by the diverse theoretical models that were discussed in the Introduction (Baker et al., 1987; Field & Cox, 2008; Franken, 2003; Kavanagh et al., 2005; Robinson & Berridge, 1993; Ryan, 2002).”
