Eye tracking of attention in the affective disorders: a meta-analytic review and synthesis. (2012, background): “…bias for dysphoric content in depression may begin voluntarily, depressed individuals may eventually attempt to disengage attention from dysphoric content, yet fail to endogenously shift attention elsewhere, in a manner comparable to the maintenance bias predicted in anxiety (Koster et al., 2011).”
Reflecting on rumination: Consequences, causes, mechanisms and treatment of rumination. (2020, methodology): “We then describe a new model (H-EX-A-GON) that emerges from and elaborates on features of these models and more recent models (Raes et al., 2010; Koster et al., 2011; Watkins, 2008; Watk ins & Nolen-Hoeksema, 2014), and the more recent literature to suggest five mechanisms: (a) H abit development, (”
Emotional Interference in Working Memory is Related to Rumination (2012, background): “…was to investigate the association between rumination and cognitive control, as there is converging evidence showing that rumination is negatively correlated with cognitive control (Davis and Nolen-Hoeksema 2000; De Lissnyder et al. 2010; Koster et al. 2011; Joormann 2006; Whitmer and Banich 2007).”
Depression: A cognitive perspective. (2019, background): “Koester and colleagues (Koster et al., 2011) formulated the ‘impaired disengagement’ hypothesis to explain the persistence of negative thoughts in depression.”
Attention to Emotional Images in Previously Depressed Individuals: An Eye-Tracking Study (2011, background): “For many researchers, attentional biases are thought to play a crucial role in maintaining a vulnerability to depressive episodes (e.g., De Raedt and Koster 2010; Gotlib and Joormann 2010; Koster et al. 2011).”
A systematic review of the relationship between rigidity/flexibility and transdiagnostic cognitive and behavioral processes that maintain psychopathology (2018, background): “In line with studies reviewed that indicated valencespecific biases (De Lissnyder et al., 2010; De Lissnyder, Koster, Goubert, et al., 2012; Genet et al., 2013), this account suggests that negative mood may increase the chances of impaired disengagement from rumination (Koster et al., 2011).”
Sexual dimorphism in cortical theta rhythms relates to elevated internalizing symptoms during adolescence (2024, unknown): “…of this literature, the link between reduced spontaneous theta power and higher internalizing symptoms in the current data may reflect altered cognitive and memory processes, perhaps reflecting the increased negative thoughts that occur in internalizing disorders (Beck, 1976; Koster et al., 2011).”
