Development of Attention Bias Modification for Depression

NCT02880215 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 145

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Although negatively biased attention has a central theoretical and empirical role in the maintenance of depression, there are few behavioral treatments that successfully target and improve this deficit. The current proposal builds upon prior work and aims to further develop an attention bias modification intervention. The investigators propose to develop a highly specific intervention that directly targets negative attention bias and the neurobiology that supports it, using cutting-edge cognitive neuroscience to inform treatment development and improve quality of life of patients whose psychopathology is maintained by negative attention bias.
