“…This work has led to several randomized controlled trials among anxious individuals reporting that, relative to control training (i.e., a sham training), this procedure reduces AB, thereby diminishing anxiety symptoms (for meta-analyses, see Hakamata et al, 2010;Mogoase et al, in press). By most standards, these results raised promising clinical avenues for ABM as it entails a very simple protocol, little contact with a mental health professional, and a potential for easy dissemination (e.g., Amir, Taylor, & Donohue, 2011;Clarke, Notebaert, & MacLeod, 2014;Heeren, Maurage, & Philippot, 2013).…”
