Hoping for more: How cognitive science has and hasn't been helpful to the OCD clinician
2019, Clinical Psychology ReviewCitation Excerpt :Researchers contend that identifying, measuring, and potentially targeting implicit beliefs directly may lead to improved treatment outcomes, given that current evidence-based treatments focus primarily on explicit processes and beliefs (Ouimet, Bahl, & Radomsky, 2016; Roefs et al., 2011). Researchers also distinguish between implicit cognition, which refers to automatic associations between concepts (e.g., toilet-dangerous; Teachman & Woody, 2004) and automatic behavioural tendencies, which refer to rapid and likely uncontrollable approach or avoidance of various stimuli (e.g., Heuer, Rinck, & Becker, 2007), though they are both used as indicators of automatic associations. The most common tool used to assess implicit cognition is the Implicit Association Test (IAT; Greenwald, McGhee, & Schwartz, 1998), for which participants categorize stimuli quickly and accurately, but in different condition blocks.
Applying the Quadruple Process model to evaluate change in implicit attitudinal responses during therapy for panic disorder
2014, Behaviour Research and TherapyCitation Excerpt :Applying the Quad model is therefore valuable because it allows a more nuanced test of the underlying processes driving changes in IAT effects. Critically, automatic associations may share some similarities with anxious schemas in the sense that they represent interconnected, relatively automatic associations in memory (see Clerkin & Teachman, 2010; Teachman et al., 2008; Teachman & Woody, 2004). Moreover, cognitive behavioral models of panic predict that anxious schemas, or fear networks, guide the ways in which people screen, code, and process information (e.g., Beck, Emery, & Greenberg, 1985).
Predictive validity of explicit and implicit threat overestimation in contamination fear
2013, Journal of Obsessive-Compulsive and Related DisordersSubjective fear, interference by threat, and fear associations independently predict fear-related behavior in children
2012, Journal of Behavior Therapy and Experimental PsychiatryCitation Excerpt :Several information-processing models highlight the role of controlled and automatic processes in explaining behavior in general, and fearful behavior in particular (e.g., Beck & Clark, 1997; Strack & Deutsch, 2004). A similar differentiation is the one between explicit and implicit fear-related cognitive processes (see Rinck & Becker, 2007; Teachman & Woody, 2004), both of which may influence fear-related behavior – particularly avoidance of feared stimuli – independently of each other. It is therefore important to study both controlled and automatic processes in order to understand behavior in general, and fearful behavior in particular.
Automaticity in anxiety disorders and major depressive disorder
2012, Clinical Psychology ReviewCitation Excerpt :Slower classification on the trials in one set of category pairings than in the other (e.g., when the category ‘snakes’ is paired with the category ‘good,’ versus when it is paired with the category ‘bad’) is interpreted as evidence that the categories are not readily associated. By changing the category labels and associated stimuli, this paradigm can be adapted to reflect a range of psychopathology-relevant associations (see De Houwer, 2002; Roefs et al., 2011; Teachman & Woody, 2004). Typically, the task is thought to reflect an automatic evaluation of some kind of target category (e.g., that the self is anxious versus calm, that spiders are dangerous versus safe), although the exact meaning of these automatic associations continues to be debated (e.g., Rothermund & Wentura, 2004).
Training implicit social anxiety associations: An experimental intervention
2010, Journal of Anxiety DisordersCitation Excerpt :Our goal in the current study was to draw from this exciting early work to investigate another bias that may be particularly valuable for understanding cognitive models of social anxiety: implicit associations (de Jong, 2002; Tanner, Stopa, & De Houwer, 2006). Although there is no way to directly measure schemas because they constitute an abstract construct, implicit associations are thought to reflect elements of anxious schemas in that they are interconnected evaluations in memory that are relatively less amenable to conscious control or introspection (Teachman & Woody, 2004). This connection to schemas is noteworthy because although schemas have been notoriously difficult to operationalize (Fiske & Taylor, 1991), they are integral for understanding cognitive models of anxiety (e.g., Beck, Emery, & Greenberg, 1985).
