They focus on the present/present (A/B) cell, as their religious beliefs in a deity cause them to fixate on the occasions when they were given what they asked for, thus they use the justification: "Many times I've asked God for something, and he's given it to me." Similarly, due to attentional bias, atheists equally tunnel on data from the present/absent (A/B', A'/B) cells: "Has God ever given me something that I didn't ask for?" or "Have I asked God for something and didn't receive it?" This experiment too supports Smedslund's general conclusion that subjects tend to ignore part of the table depending on their specific attentional biases.<sup id="cite_ref-Baron2013_2-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Baron2013-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The scenarios can be illustrated below in a similar table to above: </p> <table class="wikitable"> <tbody><tr> <th> </th> <th scope="col">Asked God for A (A) </th> <th scope="col">Did not ask God for A (A') </th></tr> <tr> <th scope="row">A was fulfilled (B) </th> <td>A/B </td> <td>A'/B </td></tr> <tr> <th scope="row">A was not fulfilled (B') </th> <td>A/B' </td> <td>A'/B' </td></tr></tbody></table> <p>When making decisions, attentional biases toward positive <a href="/wiki/Stimulus_(physiology)" title="Stimulus (physiology)">stimuli</a> have been associated with numerous positive outcomes, such as increased <a href="/wiki/Social_engagement" title="Social engagement">social engagement</a>, increased <a href="/wiki/Prosocial_behaviour" class="mw-redirect" title="Prosocial behaviour">prosocial behaviour</a>, decreased <a href="/wiki/Externalizing_disorders" class="mw-redirect" title="Externalizing disorders">externalizing disorders</a>, and decreased <a href="/wiki/Emotional_detachment" title="Emotional detachment">emotionally withdrawn behavior</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-Troller-Renfree2015_6-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Troller-Renfree2015-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In contrast, individuals with clinically relevant symptoms, such as <a href="/wiki/Anxiety_disorder" title="Anxiety disorder">anxiety disorder</a><sup id="cite_ref-Bar-Haim2007_1-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Bar-Haim2007-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> and <a href="/wiki/Chronic_pain" title="Chronic pain">chronic pain</a><sup id="cite_ref-Schoth2010_8-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Schoth2010-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> are shown to prioritize threat cues over reward cues.<sup id="cite_ref-Mogg2000_9-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Mogg2000-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-Mathews1994_10-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Mathews1994-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-Tran2015_4-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Tran2015-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-MacLeod2002_11-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-MacLeod2002-11"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>11<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In one experiment, faces with varying valences were presented (neutral, threatening, and happy) with a forced-choice reaction time at two exposure durations, 500 and 1250msec.

Word pairs were shown to the subjects, with a dot probe following a word of each pair (dot probe paradigm). One-half of the word pairs were presented on the subliminal level, and the other half were presented on the supraliminal level, and then the response time was measured. As expected, the anxious and depressed groups showed an attentional bias towards negative words compared to the normal control group. On a supraliminal level, the depressed group showed greater vigilance for threat stimuli than the anxious group.

It is easier for individuals who experience this to relapse and begin their drug use again, because the urges given off by that initial stimuli can prove to be too strong to curb.<sup id="cite_ref-23" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-23"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>23<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> There are some ways that individuals could overcome attentional bias, and a solution is stimuli-related therapy. This type of therapy would give those struggling with addiction and relapse an opportunity to overcome the initial fear associated with a particular object. A study conducted by a group of researchers in the Netherlands found that by giving participants an opportunity to attend therapy sessions during their treatment for drug addiction, more participants remained drug-free compared to those who relapsed.<sup id="cite_ref-:0_24-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:0-24"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>24<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Therefore, the conclusion can be drawn that with exposure therapy, the number of patients who will leave a treatment facility and relapse decreases.

In other words, certain steps need to be taken in treatment facilities across the country to ensure that drug addiction no longer rises, or continues to ruin people's lives. Also, a therapy of this kind should be closely monitored and mandatory to ensure the smallest number of relapses occur after treatment. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Measurements">Measurements</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Attentional_bias&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Measurements"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>There are two different forms of attentional bias that can be measured: </p> <dl><dt>Within-subject bias</dt> <dd>When there is a significant difference between an anxious individuals' attention bias towards threat-related stimuli and attention bias towards <a href="/wiki/Neutral_stimulus" title="Neutral stimulus">neutral stimuli</a> (which usually favors threat-related stimuli)<sup id="cite_ref-Bar-Haim2007_1-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Bar-Haim2007-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></dd></dl> <dl><dt>Between-subject bias</dt> <dd>When there is a significant difference between non-anxious and anxious individuals' attention bias towards and neutral stimuli and threat-related stimuli<sup id="cite_ref-Bar-Haim2007_1-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Bar-Haim2007-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></dd></dl> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Measurement_paradigms">Measurement paradigms</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Attentional_bias&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Measurement paradigms"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>There are four main paradigms used to measure attentional bias:<sup id="cite_ref-Tran2015_4-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Tran2015-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <dl><dt><a href="/wiki/Stroop_effect" title="Stroop effect">Stroop</a> paradigm</dt> <dd>The Stroop paradigm was the first measure of attentional bias.<sup id="cite_ref-Tran2015_4-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Tran2015-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> It also uses reaction time, only in this case utilizing <a href="/wiki/Color" title="Color">colors</a>.
