“…Moreover, there is some evidence for transfer of ABM to memory. A study reported that participants with elevated depressive symptom severity levels trained to orient away from negative words did not show a negative recollection bias which was observed in control individuals (Blaut, Paulewicz, Szastok, Prochwicz, & Koster, 2013). In sum, research indicates that dot-probe training effects transfer to new, non-trained stimuli under similar conditions, but provides mixed evidence regarding transfer to other critical processes.…”

“…Of final note, the limited range of psychopathology may have obscured training and transfer effects. Studies by Blaut et al (2013) and Arditte and Joormann (2014) observed training or transfer at higher levels of depression or rumination. The restricted range of affective symptoms in the current experiments limits exploration of such moderation effects.…”

Background and Objectives. Across three experiments we investigated transfer effects of single-session attention bias modification via dot-probe training. Methods. In experiment 1, participants received training either toward or away from negative images or no-training, and transfer to an affective task-switching task was examined. In two other experiments, participants were trained to orient attention toward either positive or negative words (experiment 2a) or facial expressions (experiment 2b), and transfer to an interpretation bias task was examined. Results.In all experiments, the dot-probe training procedure did not effectively modify biases in attention allocation at the training condition level, but produced a large variability in individual attention bias acquisition within and across conditions. Individual differences in pre-training attention bias and attention bias acquisition were not related to performance on the affective task-switching task or the interpretation tasks. Limitations. The present investigations are limited by the lack of effectiveness of ABM at the condition level, the order in which transfer tasks were administered, and the restricted range of affective symptoms that could moderate training and transfer effects.

“…The negative memory bias in depression can be accounted for by attentional biases (33). Mood-congruent attentional biases have been found in individuals with depression and dysphoria (114,142,159,226).…”

In this article, we examine evidence supporting the role of reproductive steroids in the regulation of mood and behavior in women and the nature of that role. In the first half of the article, we review evidence for the following: (i) the reproductive system is designed to regulate behavior; (ii) from the subcellular to cellular to circuit to behavior, reproductive steroids are powerful neuroregulators; (iii) affective disorders are disorders of behavioral state; and (iv) reproductive steroids affect virtually every system implicated in the pathophysiology of depression. In the second half of the article, we discuss the diagnosis of the three reproductive endocrine-related mood disorders (premenstrual dysphoric disorder, postpartum depression, and perimenopausal depression) and present evidence supporting the relevance of reproductive steroids to these conditions. Existing evidence suggests that changes in reproductive steroid levels during specific reproductive states (i.e., the premenstrual phase of the menstrual cycle, pregnancy, parturition, and the menopause transition) trigger affective dysregulation in susceptible women, thus suggesting the etiopathogenic relevance of these hormonal changes in reproductive mood disorders. Understanding the source of individual susceptibility is critical to both preventing the onset of illness and developing novel, individualized treatments for reproductive-related affective dysregulation. © 2016 American Physiological Society.

“…There were three main hypotheses: First, we hypothesized that participants who viewed the thin-body images for a longer duration (and paid more attention) in the present study would have better recognition memory of those images than would participants who viewed them for a shorter duration [7,8,15]. Second, based on cognitive theories [4,5,14], we expected that participants' recognition memory for the thin-body images would lead to increased body dissatisfaction (i.e., a larger actual-ideal discrepancy).…”

“…Research based on cognitive theories of eating disorders [4,5] has emphasized the important roles that increased attention to and better memory for body-related information play in the development and maintenance of such body image issues [6], but the exact nature of the relationship between these biases and their impact on women's body image concerns is not well understood. There is evidence in the depression literature that biases in attention and memory are related [7,8], but these associations have not been tested in the body image literature. Thus, the purpose of the present study was to test the relationships between attention and memory biases and women's body dissatisfaction that have been proposed by cognitive models but that remain untested.…”
