“…For depression, meta-analytic evidence suggests no effects of ABM on depressive symptomatology, but note that there is little research testing ABM in depressed samples (see Mogoase et al, 2014). While several recent ABM studies did not produce clinically significant changes (Boettcher, Andersson, Carlbring, & Group, 2013;Carlbring et al, 2012;Julian, Beard, Schmidt, Powers, & Smits, 2012;Neubauer et al, 2013;Rapee et al, 2013), such failures might be due to failures of ABM to change attentional bias at the training condition (group) level (Clarke, Notebaert, & MacLeod, 2014). Yet, there is large variability among trainees in attention bias acquisition following ABM delivery and such individual differences may predict anxiety levels (e.g., Clarke, Chen, & Guastella, 2012;Clarke, MacLeod, & Shirazee, 2008).…”
