Anxiety, Processing Efficiency, and Cognitive Performance New Developments from Attentional Control Theory (2009, background): “This assumption is based on much research showing that anxious individuals have an attentional bias for threat-related stimuli and find it harder than nonanxious ones to disengage from such stimuli (Bar-Haim et al., 2007). In most of the published studies, the key finding was that the adverse effect”
Distorted cognition and pathological anxiety in children and adolescents (2008, background): “Nevertheless, available evidence seems to indicate that this cognitive distortion is present in high-anxious and anxiety-disordered youths, just like in anxious adults (see Bar-Haim, Lamy, Pergamin, Bakermans-Kranenburg, & van IJzendoorn, 2007 , for a meta-analytic review).”
Transdiagnostic Approaches to Mental Health Problems: Current Status and Future Directions (2020, background): “…disorders would argue that much of the attentional bias is driven by deep-rooted beliefs or models of the world that confer danger on the stimuli that are attended to (Bar-Haim et al., 2007; Wells & Matthews, 1994) and so the deep cause of the anxiety problems is the possession of such beliefs.”
Environmental enrichment induces optimistic cognitive bias in rats (2011, background): “Affectively induced cognitive biases have been described in relation to the information attended to, how it is interpreted and how it is remembered (Leppanen 2006; Bar-Haim et al. 2007; Coen et al. 2009; Inaba & Ohira 2009).”
Reliability of two versions of the dot-probe task using photographic faces (2009, methodology): “The dot-probe task has been used in at least 100 published studies so far (Bar-Haim et al., 2007; systematic searches conducted in PsychInfo and PubMed) and its influence in shaping our current knowledge of attentional bias in a variety of disorders can hardly be underestimated.”
Attention Bias Modification Treatment: A meta-analysis towards the establishment of novel treatment for anxiety (2010, background): “Although biased allocation of ttention represents an important correlate of anxiety, it is only one f many cognitive biases (44); differences in attention bias between ealthy and anxious subjects are only moderate in size (11); and a ignificant group of anxiety-disorder patients exhibit no biasing o”
When time slows down: The influence of threat on time perception in anxiety (2010, background): “The attention of anxious individuals is known to be initially summoned by and maintained on even mildly threatening information while the attention of non-anxious individuals is not (see Bar-Haim et al., 2007, for a review).”
Psychological measurement and the replication crisis: Four sacred cows. (2020, background): “A cautionary tale in this regard derives from research on the dot-probe task, which has been widely used to measure attentional biases in anxiety and anxiety disorders (Bar-Haim et al., 2007).”
Cognitive bias modification approaches to anxiety. (2012, background): “Clinically anxious patients reliably display an attentional bias toward negative information, which is also sometimes shown by healthy individuals who reported elevated levels of trait anxiety (cf. Bar-Haim et al. 2007).”
