    J Abnorm Psychol 109:713-20. 2000
    ..Those with GSP demonstrated an implicit memory bias for social-threat sentences, whereas controls did not. This differential priming effect suggests that information about threat may be automatically accessed in GSP...

    Biol Psychiatry 57:975-81. 2005
