Spontaneous negative flashforward images of feared outcome in social anxiety disorder could be seen as part of the mental representation of an unconditional stimulus.
“Accordingly, spontaneous negative 'flashforward' (FF) images of feared outcome in SAD could be seen as part of the mental representation of an unconditional stimulus (Davey 1992).”

Even if individuals have experienced positive outcomes of social situations, the mental representation of the unconditional stimulus may continue to be inflated through negative imagery and refuel anxiety symptoms.
“Moreover, even if individuals have experienced positive outcomes of social situations, the mental representation of the unconditional stimulus may continue to be inflated through negative imagery and (re)fuel anxiety symptoms (Davey 1992).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
