No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Participants will complete a pre and post training psychological assessment. Participants will be assigned to attention control training or the comparison stimuli computer task in a double-blind randomized control trial design. Both computerized dot probe tasks display two faces on a computer screen, one above the other, followed by a small right or left arrow appearing in the location vacated by one of the faces. Participants are required to respond as quickly as they can by pressing the indicated right or left arrow on their computer keyboard without compromising accuracy. Participants complete 6 training sessions.

Conditions

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Attention Control Training

Attention control training teaches participants that the emotional salience of cues (i.e., threatening or neutral) is not related to successful completion of the computerized response task, and thus, teaches participants to ignore irrelevant threat-related contingencies (Badura-Brack et al., 2015).

BEHAVIORAL

Comparison Task

Neutral- neutral stimuli prior to response task
