Anxiety and low mood (depression) can be common in children. Cognitive models of these conditions posit that distortions in the way that information is attended to, evaluated, stored, and retrieved may maintain symptoms, and even contribute to the initial onset of symptoms. While there are ample data to support these hypotheses in adults and adolescents, less work has been conducted in children. This entry discusses how these “cognitive” biases are measured and summarizes how they manifest in children with anxiety and/or mood symptoms, focusing on attention, interpretation, and memory processes. It also includes discussion of data from studies that have attempted to modify these cognitive processes in order to assess their causal role on symptoms, and whether they could reflect new intervention targets. The entry finishes with suggestions for future research in this area.
