“…Given the theoretical and metric foundations of the ANT, many scholars have relied on this framework to delineate specific attentional impairments in clinical populations with psychiatric (Gooding et al, 2006;Lannoy et al, 2017;Maurage et al, 2014;Mullane et al, 2011;Urbanek et al, 2009;Wang et al, 2020) and neurological disorders (e.g., Heeren et al, 2014;Maurage et al, 2017;Togo et al, 2015). Moreover, concerning MDD and GAD, the ANT has already been adopted to examine the distinct components of the attentional networks involved in anxiety disorders, with studies pointing to impairment in the orienting network in social anxiety disorder (Heeren and McNally, 2016;Wang et al, 2020) and an impaired executive control network in patients with various other anxiety disorders (Pacheco-Unguetti et al, 2011)-i.e., either GAD, panic disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder, or obsessivecompulsive disorder. Likewise, the ANT has also been implemented in mood disorder research, with several studies relating impaired executive control network in patients with MDD (e.g., Wang et al, 2020) and bipolar disorders (e.g., Gruber et al, 2007;Ossola et al, 2018).…”
