In the citing paper
“Several models suggest that anxiety biases attention towards threat-related stimuli by increasing the output from an amygdala-centred threat evaluation system”
From Short-term serotonergic but not noradrenergic antidepressant administration reduces attentional vigilance to threat in healthy volunteers (2009) · cites this paper as Mathews and Mackintosh, 1998
In the citing paper
“In short, there is strong evidence for what has been proposed by major theories on emotion processing (Mathews & Mackintosh, 1998; Öhman & Mineka, 2001): stimuli associated with negative valence have a mandatory and involuntary effect on the allocation of covert and overt attention, which cannot be fully controlled in a top-down effortful fashion.”
From Selection history: How reward modulates selectivity of visual attention. (2018) · cites this paper as Mathews & Mackintosh, 1998
In the citing paper
“An automatic threat evaluation system (TES) makes people vigilant to potentially threatening information (50).”
From Negative interpretation of ambiguous bodily symptoms among illness-anxious individuals: Exploring the role of developmental and maintenance constructs (2023) · cites this paper as [50]
In the citing paper
“AB in threat-distractor interference (e.g., [ 5 0 2 _ T D $ D I F F ] on the emotional Stroop task) reflects conflict between threat salience-driven and goal-directed processes [26,30,31,55,59].”
From Anxiety and Threat-Related Attention: Cognitive-Motivational Framework and Treatment (2018) · cites this paper as [30]
In the citing paper
“Threat hypersensitivity of automatic salience evaluation and switching in anxiety may trigger inhibition/interruption of task-related activity, as well as switching of attention priorities from goal-directed processing to threat salience-driven processing (Figure 2), which impairs task performance”
From Anxiety and Threat-Related Attention: Cognitive-Motivational Framework and Treatment (2018) · cites this paper as [30]

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.
