..Finally, perceived interpersonal competence was positively correlated with personal space permeability...

..We show that, despite the notion that skin colour plays a major role in categorising faces into own and other-race faces, its effect on face recognition is minor relative to differences across races in facial features...

..These findings are discussed within the context of previous research on associations between attachment and anxiety disorders...

..Empirical and clinical implications as well as future directions for research are discussed...

..These results link inhibited temperament and perturbed neural responses to reward-contingency cues...

..The results indicate that preference for own-race faces is present as early as 3 months of age, but that this preference results from exposure to the prototypical facial environment...

..The present findings suggest that atypical face processing in autism does not result from abnormal attentional allocation to the different face parts...

..The between-group pattern in ERP waveforms suggests that the slower reaction times in high-anxious participants might reflect increased attentional dwelling on the face cues, rather than a general slowing of response enacting...

..The authors examined associations, in real time, among imminent life-threatening danger, stress-related symptoms, and vigilance...

..The findings suggest interplay between the cognitive-emotional processes associated with narrative processing and production and cardiac activation patterns...

..A randomized, double-blind placebo-controlled trial was conducted to examine the efficacy of an ABM protocol designed to facilitate attention disengagement from threats, thereby reducing anxiety and stress vulnerability in children...

..Results are discussed in light of the controversy concerning the anatomic loci (peripheral vs. central neuronal activity) of the individual differences between introverts and extraverts in early auditory processing...

..The findings suggest that the Balloons Game provides a reliable tool for the study of regulation of emotion expression in young children...

..It is this over-activation that may set the stage for the attention bias towards threat observed in anxious individuals...

..The current data extends our previous findings suggesting that differential auditory processing may be involved in speech selectivity in SM...

..Because abnormal Auditory Efferent Activity (AEA) is associated with auditory distortions during vocalization, we tested whether auditory processing is impaired during vocalization in children with Selective Mutism (SM)...

..The authors examined whether ABM induces greater reductions in pediatric anxiety symptoms and symptom severity than multiple control training interventions...

..These findings reveal an anxiety-related dissociation between the early and late processing stages of threat processing. Implications are discussed in light of existing theories of cognitive biases in anxiety...

..These data suggest that the clinical entity designated as a comorbidity of balance and anxiety disorders has an analogous representation in the normal population...

..These results indicate that liminal stimuli that do not affect performance undergo considerable processing and that subjective awareness is associated with a late wave of activation with widely distributed topography...

..The results showed that our previous findings are replicated when confidence is controlled for...

..The findings suggest that biased attentional responses to threat, among children, can exert a specific influence on the tendency to experience anxiety in the face of stress...

..The implications of the present findings for theoretical accounts of intertrial priming and for the face-in-the-crowd phenomenon are discussed...

..However, this did not occur in the experimental group. These experiments show that acute contextual threat and learning experiences interact to shape the deployment of attention away from danger cues...

..The review also outlines the gaps in need of bridging before ABM techniques could be routinely applied and incorporated into standard treatment protocols...

..To assess the feasibility of conducting home-based sleep restriction studies with actigraphic monitoring of sleep and a new online continuous performance test (OCPT)...

..The present meta-analysis tested whether the extant published data support the notion that variation in the 5-HTTLPR genotype modulates selective attention to negative information...

....

..The findings suggest that MPH improves motor coordination in children with comorbid DCD and ADHD but clinically significant improvement was found in only 33% of the children...

..These children may gradually learn to restrict vocalization to the minimal amount possible in contexts that require complex auditory processing...

..This profile of comorbidity between balance dysfunction and anxiety also include lower self-esteem...

..To provide new insight regarding the links between sleep and ADHD research in this field should adopt new strict guidelines and consider the role of multiple pertinent moderating factors...

..g., angry faces) or, alternatively, while they process and respond to probes. This magnetoencephalography (MEG) study was designed to answer this question...

..The study supports increasing evidence from recent studies demonstrating a link between short sleep duration and weight gain and obesity in young children...

..For the children who showed P50 suppression, the magnitude of P50 suppression increased with age and reached adult levels in the oldest participants. P50 suppression did not vary with the extent of social withdrawal behaviors...

..Particular emphasis is placed on the empirical confirmation of a 6-9 Hz alpha-range frequency band that has previously been used in the infant EEG literature...

..In summary, the data provide evidence of an association between adults' comfort with interpersonal emotional closeness (attachment style) and their comfort with and regulation of interpersonal physical closeness...
