A matter of interpretation: Cognitive processing biases in emotional psychopathology
Save as calendar entryIn my work, I examine the extent to which cognitive processing biases should be understood as correlates, predictors, and/or causal risk factors for the development and maintenance of mental disorders. In addition, I examine the mechanisms underlying such biases (e.g., neural and psychophysiological mechanisms). My work focuses on anxiety disorders, posttraumatic stress disorder, and depression, and I conduct studies with healthy as well as at-risk and patient samples. In my talk, I will first present a series of studies investigating the predictive validity of such biases in relation to symptoms of psychopathology and stress reactions. I will then present experimental studies and clinical trials in which cognitive biases were manipulated, using computerized training procedures. These studies aimed to investigate to what extent cognitive biases can be modified, and whether such modifications influence symptoms or their analogues. This in turn can shed light on whether such biases can play a causal role in psychopathology and its treatment.
