In the citing paper
“Imagery-based RNT was prevalent, at odds with models arguing RNT is a verbal-based strategy to avoid distressing intrusive images (Borkovec et al., 1998), but in line with recent empirical data demonstrating comparable effects on affect between both modalities of RNT (Lawrence & Schwartz-Mette, 2019).”

The cited source says what the claim attributes to it.
In the citing paper
“Worry can serve an experiential avoidance function (Borkovec, 1994; Borkovec, Ray, & Stober, 1998) insofar as engaging in worry reduces anxious arousal related to feared potential outcomes; thus, worry is at least partially maintained through negative reinforcement.”

In the citing paper
“For example, verbalizing a fearful situation can induce less cardiovascular response than visually imagining the same situation, possibly because verbalizations are used as a strategy for abstraction and disengagement (Borkovec et al., 1998; but also see Newman & Llera, 2011, and Newman, Llera, Erickson, Przeworski, & Castonguay, 2013, who did not find support for this).”

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.
