自20世纪60年代以来，焦虑的认知理论在焦虑及其障碍的病因和维持方面优先关注威胁。[1] 20世纪80年代，计算机管理任务的发展，在屏幕上显示威胁性刺激，并依靠参与者点击按键或鼠标按钮来测量反应时间，允许实验测试焦虑症患者对威胁表现出偏见的假设。2此后积累的大量数据支持这一假设，包括儿童和青少年的数据。然而，通过鼠标点击测量的反应时间是间接和不精确的注意力测量。[4]在过去的十年中，随着眼动追踪技术的出现，研究人员已经能够直接精确地测量注意力。Lisk等人，5在本期杂志中，对使用眼动追踪来衡量儿童和青少年对威胁的注意力的研究进行了系统的回顾和荟萃分析。
Since the 1960s, cognitive theories of anxiety have prioritized attention to threat in the etiology and maintenance of anxiety and its disorders. 1 The development of computer-administered tasks in the 1980s, displaying threatening stimuli on the screen and relying on participants' clicking of keys or mouse buttons to measure reaction time, permitted experimental testing of the hypothesis that individuals with anxiety disorders show biased attention to threat. 2 Considerable data have since accumulated supporting this hypothesis, including in children and adolescents. 1, 3 However, reaction times measured by mouse button clicks are indirect and imprecise measurements of attention. 4 With the availability of eye-tracking in the last decade, researchers have been able to directly and precisely measure attention. Lisk et al., 5 in this issue of the Journal, provide a systematic review and meta-analysis of studies that used eye-tracking to measure attention to threat in children and adolescents.
