Attention Bias Modification Training for Child Anxiety CBT Nonresponders
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Attention Bias Modification and Placebo Attention Task for Anxiety Disorders. Completed, enrolled 64 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This project will test Attention Bias Modification Training (ABMT) among children and adolescents who have completed a full protocol of cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) for anxiety and still meet criteria for a primary diagnosis of an anxiety disorder. The purpose of this project is to determine whether ABMT leads to reductions in anxiety and related impairment, relative to a placebo task condition.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
At each of eight sessions, participants complete 160 computer administered trials wherein a pair of threatening stimuli and neutral stimuli is presented simultaneously and then followed immediately by a probe. The probe always replaces the neutral stimulus and never replaces the threatening stimulus. The intervention is based on the idea that attention can be shaped via repetitive computer based training methods, and training attention toward neutral stimuli will lead to a reduction in anxiety and its disorders.

The probe replaces the neutral stimulus and the threatening stimulus with equal probability.
