TL;DR: Although the ME group demonstrated significantly more habituation than the ESE group across exposure trials, they also showed a clear return of fear (ROF) in response to the training spider at a 1-month follow-up assessment, whereas the E SE group showed no increase in fear.

TL;DR: The control group demonstrated significantly more habituation than the experimental group across exposure trials, yet showed a clear return of fear in response to a control spider at a 3-week follow-up assessment whereas the Experimental group showed no increase in fear.

TL;DR: There was a trend for comorbidity to reduce likelihood of achieving high improvement in panic at posttreatment, and there was a significant reduction in the number of patients with at least one additional diagnosis.

TL;DR: In this article, the temporal relationship between anxiety and cognitive bias was examined in 52 college freshmen making a first-quarter exam and found that changes in anxiety were associated with changes in risk perception at time 1 and positive changes in threatening interpretation of ambiguous information at time 3.
Abstract: The temporal relationship between anxiety andcognitive bias was examined in 52 college freshmentaking a first-quarter exam. Anxiety and cognitive biaswere measured 1 week before the exam (Time 1),immediately after the exam (Time 2), and after grades wereposted (Time 3). Changes in anxiety were associated withchanges in cognitive bias by Times 2 and 3.Specifically, changes in anxiety were associatedpositively with changes in risk perception at Time 2 andpositively with changes in threatening interpretationsof ambiguous information at Time 3. Cognitive bias atTime 1 did not predict anxiety by Time 2 or 3, controlling for initial anxiety. However, whenthe perceived difficulty of the exam was taken intoaccount, it appeared to moderate the relationshipbetween cognitive bias at Time 1 and later anxiety. That is, among those who perceived the exam to beeasy, greater cognitive bias at Time 1 predicted greateranxiety by Time 2. Among those who predicted the exam tobe difficult, greater cognitive bias at Time 1 predicted less anxiety by Time 2.
