Nocebo hyperalgesia induced by implicit conditioning
ConclusionsThe results support the notion that implicit conditioning of nocebo hypoalgesia is feasible using a novel experimental conditioning design with supraliminal stimulus presentation, although further research is needed. So far, implicitly conditioned nocebo effects might have been underestimated despite vast clinical implications. (Source: Journal of Behavior Therapy and Experimental Psychiatry)

Effects of (in)validation and plain versus technical language on the experience of experimentally induced pain: A computercontrolled simulation paradigm.
ConclusionsThe study offers an interesting model for the further experimental study of isolated and combined effects of (social) contextual factors on pain. Diverse future research avenues are discussed. (Source: Journal of Behavior Therapy and Experimental Psychiatry)

Making eye movements during imaginal exposure leads to short-lived memory effects compared to imaginal exposure alone
ConclusionMaking EM during imaginal exposure leads to short-lived effects compared to imaginal exposure alone. However, EM may offer a response aid for those who avoid imaginal exposure. (Source: Journal of Behavior Therapy and Experimental Psychiatry)

Sudden gains in cognitive behavioral therapy among children and adolescents with obsessive compulsive disorder
ConclusionsThe course of CBT for pediatric OCD is variable with many children experiencing sudden gains, but a sizable percentage experience a reversal of gains which was related to reduced insight. Sudden gains tended to occur after starting exposure and response prevention and towards the end of treatment.Trials registrationClinicaltrialsgov Registry: NCT00864123. https://www.clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT00864123.

Socially anxious individuals perform better using low spatial frequency information to process facial expressions and objects
Conclusions: Study results showed that HSAi better process LSF neutral information and that this advantage is not limited to neutral faces alone, but extends across other domains. (Source: Journal of Behavior Therapy and Experimental Psychiatry)

Exaggerated interpretation bias for uncertain information as a predictor of anxiety-related symptoms: A new method of assessment for IU
ConclusionsThese findings provide an important replication and extension of previous work and highlight the transdiagnostic utility of this IU-IB task. (Source: Journal of Behavior Therapy and Experimental Psychiatry)

Peer support and skills training through an eating club for people with psychotic disorders: A feasibility study
ConclusionsThe HY-intervention is feasible for participants with psychotic disorders. This study refined intervention and research design for the upcoming multicentre randomised controlled trial. We expect that the Experience Sampling Method will be more sensitive to changes in recovery outcomes than regular pre-post intervention measures.

Attention biases in perfectionism: Biased disengagement of attention from emotionally negative stimuli
ConclusionThese findings demonstrate that individuals higher in perfectionistic concerns experience difficulty withdrawing their attention from emotionally negative stimuli. These findings contribute new information to our theoretical understandings of perfectionism and provide support for the cognitive-behavioural model of perfectionism.

Is repetitive negative thinking a transdiagnostic process? A comparison of key processes of RNT in depression, generalized anxiety disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and community controls
ConclusionsData support the transdiagnostic hypothesis of RNT. Transdiagnostic prevention and intervention techniques seem highly recommendable given these findings. (Source: Journal of Behavior Therapy and Experimental Psychiatry)

Direct effects of cognitive therapy skill acquisition on cognitive therapy skill use, idiosyncratic dysfunctional beliefs and emotions in distressed individuals: An experimental study
Publication date: Available online 11 February 2019Source: Journal of Behavior Therapy and Experimental PsychiatryAuthor(s): Sanne J.E. Bruijniks, Sander A. Los, Marcus J.H. HuibersAbstractExperimental studies that manipulate treatment procedures to investigate their direct effects on treatment processes and outcomes are necessary to find out the effective elements and improve the effects of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for depression. The present study randomized mildly to severely depressed participants into a procedure focused on cognitive therapy skill acquisition (CTSA; n = 27) or a control procedure focused...
