Publications
Processing of temporal information: evidence from eye movementsMike Rinck
Dresden University of Technology, Dresden, Germany
Mem Cognit 31:77-86. 2003..Theoretical and methodological implications of the results for research on text comprehension are discussed...
Speeded detection and increased distraction in fear of spiders: evidence from eye movementsMike Rinck
Dresden University of Technology, Dresden, Germany
J Abnorm Psychol 114:235-48. 2005..The implications of these findings for cognitive theories of anxiety are discussed, particularly in relation to the concept of disengagement from threat...
Spiders crawl easily through the bottleneck: visual working memory for negative stimuliAndrea Reinecke
Dresden University of Technology, General Psychology, Dresden, Germany
Emotion 6:438-49. 2006..For both groups, memory was better for cued spiders than for other cued items. SFs also showed improved memory for uncued spiders. The relevance of the results for theories of attention and cognitive models of phobias are discussed...
Approach and avoidance in fear of spidersMike Rinck
Dresden University of Technology, Germany
J Behav Ther Exp Psychiatry 38:105-20. 2007..Moreover, compatibility effects predicted fear-related behavior independently of questionnaires. Potential applications, extensions, and limitations of the findings are discussed...
A comparison of attentional biases and memory biases in women with social phobia and major depressionMike Rinck
General Psychology, Dresden University of Technology, Dresden, Germany
J Abnorm Psychol 114:62-74. 2005..The implications of these results for competing theories are discussed...
Selective visual working memory in fear of spiders: the role of automaticity and material-specificityAndrea Reinecke
Dresden University of Technology, General Psychology, Dresden, Germany
J Anxiety Disord 23:1053-63. 2009..This article supports cognitive models of anxiety in that biases are more likely to occur when reducing strategic processing. However, it contradicts the assumption that explicit memory biases are not characteristic of anxiety...
Visual working memory and threat monitoring: Spider fearfuls show disorder-specific change detectionAndrea Reinecke
Dresden University of Technology, Germany
Behav Res Ther 48:770-8. 2010..This effect was significantly stronger in SF, for spider images only, indicating a threat-specific VWM bias. Thus, contrary to the assumptions made by most cognitive models of anxiety, an explicit memory bias was found...
Morphed emotional faces: emotion detection and misinterpretation in social anxietyKathrin Heuer
Institute for General Psychology Biopsychology and Methods of Psychology, Faculty of Science, Dresden University of Technology, 01062 Dresden, Germany
J Behav Ther Exp Psychiatry 41:418-25. 2010..No group differences were found in the FVT. We suggest that socially anxious individuals tend to misinterpret facial expressions as threatening when they must do so quickly and efficiently, as in real life...
How preferential is the preferential encoding of threatening stimuli? Working memory biases in specific anxiety and the Attentional BlinkAndrea Reinecke
Dresden University of Technology, Germany
J Anxiety Disord 22:655-70. 2008..This advantage for threat was not related to a disruption of the encoding of non-threatening targets presented before the threat item...
From fear to love: individual differences in implicit spider associationsThomas Ellwart
Department of Psychology, Dresden University of Technology, Dresden, Germany
Emotion 6:18-27. 2006..The results of Experiment 2 provide additional support for the argument that implicit spider associations are different from general stereotypes or knowledge about spiders...
Spider fearful individuals attend to threat, then quickly avoid it: evidence from eye movementsMike Rinck
Dresden University of Technology, Germany
J Abnorm Psychol 115:231-8. 2006..This early reflexive attentional bias toward threat followed by avoidance of threat may explain earlier failures to find attentional biases in anxiety...
Activation and measurement of threat associations in fear of spiders: an application of the Extrinsic Affective Simon TaskThomas Ellwart
Dresden University of Technology, Germany
J Behav Ther Exp Psychiatry 36:281-99. 2005..We conclude that impact of threat associations depends on the activated context, and that the EAST is suitable for the assessment of fear associations and their current activation level...
Selective memory and memory deficits in depressed inpatientsThomas Ellwart
Department of General Psychology, Dresden University of Technology, Dresden, Germany
Depress Anxiety 17:197-206. 2003..In addition, severely depressed patients showed a mood-congruent memory bias in implicit memory but not in explicit memory. The complex pattern of results is discussed with regard to relevant theories of depression...
Avoidance of emotional facial expressions in social anxiety: The Approach-Avoidance TaskKathrin Heuer
Department of General Psychology, Dresden University of Technology, D 01062 Dresden, Germany
Behav Res Ther 45:2990-3001. 2007..A critical discrepancy between direct and indirect measures was observed for smiling faces: HSAs evaluated them positively, but reacted to them with avoidance...
Selective attention in anxiety: distraction and enhancement in visual searchMike Rinck
Technische Universitat Dresden, Dresden, Germany
Depress Anxiety 18:18-28. 2003..SP patients showed neither distraction nor enhancement effects. These results extend previous findings of attentional biases observed with other experimental paradigms...
Who when where: an experimental test of the event-indexing modelMike Rinck
General Psychology, Dresden University of Technology, Dresden, Germany
Mem Cognit 31:1284-92. 2003..These experimental results support the processing load predictions of the event-indexing model and extend previous correlational results...
On doing two things at once: temporal constraints on actions in language comprehensionManuel de Vega
Universidad de La Laguna, La Laguna, Canary Islands, Spain
Mem Cognit 32:1033-43. 2004..These results are compatible with a revised version of the indexical hypothesis that specifies how comprehension is guided by syntax and embodied constraints within multiple noninteracting mental spaces...
Epidemiology of specific phobia subtypes: findings from the Dresden Mental Health StudyEni S Becker
Radboud University Nijmegen, Clinical Psychology, Behavioural Science Institute, PO Box 9104, 6500 HE, Nijmegen, Netherlands
Eur Psychiatry 22:69-74. 2007..These data suggest significant differences in the phenomenology and clinical significance of specific phobia subtypes...
Emotion simulation during language comprehensionDavid A Havas
Department of Psychology, University of Wisconsin, Madison, Wisconsin 53706, USA
Psychon Bull Rev 14:436-41. 2007..Because the effect was not observed on a lexical decision task using emotion-laden words (Experiment 3), we suggest that the emotion simulation affects comprehension processes beyond initial lexical access...
Emotional and temporal aspects of situation model processing during text comprehension: an event-related fMRI studyEvelyn C Ferstl
Max Planck Institute of Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences, Leipzig, Germany
J Cogn Neurosci 17:724-39. 2005..The right hemisphere contributes to language processing in context, but equally important are the left medial and bilateral prefrontal cortices...
