Cognitive processes predict worry and anxiety under different stressful situations
2022, Behaviour Research and TherapyCitation Excerpt :Memory bias refers to the tendency to recall more explicitly negative than benign information. Eight studies failed to identify a memory bias related to trait worry or GAD (e.g., Mogg, Mathews, & Weinman, 1987; for a review, see Coles & Heimberg, 2002), while only three studies have found relationships between negative memory bias and trait worry (McKay, 2005) and GAD (Bradley, Mogg, & Williams, 1995; Friedman, Thayer, & Borkovec, 2000). These studies typically assessed how many valenced words individuals recalled from a previous task, but did not consider the influence of other cognitive processes (e.g., attention and interpretation) influencing encoding or retrieval of information.
Implicit and explicit emotional memory recall in anxiety and depression: Role of basolateral amygdala and cortisol-norepinephrine interaction
2022, PsychoneuroendocrinologyCitation Excerpt :These emotional words were used as primes for a subsequent implicit memory task. Following previous literature (Friedman et al., 2000), a total of 28 trials were presented in a mixed order, in which the first and last 3 words were buffers used to prevent primacy and recency effects (e.g., FFFPNPPNN…FFF). In a given trial of the encoding phase, a crosshair was first presented at the center of screen in a color of either yellow or green until participants answered in which color the crosshair was displayed by pressing a correspondent button.

2019, Journal of Affective DisordersCitation Excerpt :Besides language the behavioral domain profile of the MFG-IFG-insula cluster points towards associated disturbances in explicit memory. In accordance with this finding, individuals with a GAD diagnosis show an explicit memory bias towards recall of threat words (Friedman et al., 2000; but also see Coles and Heimberg, 2002). As the left IFG is implicated in long term memory encoding and retrieval (Buckner and Koutstaal, 1998; Dove et al., 2006; Greenberg et al., 2005) the memory bias might be related to aberrant IFG functioning.
