Introduction to the special section on cognitive bias modification in emotional disorders
Abstract
Cognitive models of anxiety disorders and unipolar depression have postulated that selective information processing plays an important role in the development and maintenance of emotional psychopathology. Cognitive bias modification (CBM) procedures have recently been developed to test this theoretical claim. The purpose of this special section is to introduce the central ideas underlying CBM and to bring together the research that exemplifies the theoretical and clinical potential of the CBM approach.

Conventional ABM threat-avoidance training lacks most features of cognitive skill training because it relies primarily on repeated practice to reduce AB to threat.
“Conventional ABM threat-avoidance training lacks most of these features because it relies primarily on repeated practice to reduce AB to threat, which is consistent with a widely held view of ABM training as an implicit training method of directly modifying automatic AB [16,33,66].”

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.
