Actual (reported)This two-site study is a test of Attention Bias Modification Treatment (ABMT) among 260 youths ages 10 to 14 years with social anxiety disorder. One-half of participants will receive 8 sessions of computer administered ABMT and the other half of participants will receive 8 sessions of computer administered Neutral Control Task (NCT). The investigators hypothesize that a biomarker of attention to social threat measured using electroencephalography (EEG) and ratings of social anxiety severity will be lower in participants who receive ABMT compared to participants who receive NCT.

Actual (reported)P1 Amplitude Elicited in the Dot-probe Task
Posttreatment event related potential amplitude elicited during the emotional faces dot probe task. The investigators focused specifically on the P1 amplitude time-locked to the onset of emotional facial stimuli in the dot probe task. P1 amplitude was measured using EEG methodology. Higher scores indicate greater allocation of neural resources when viewing stimuli in the dot probe task, which can be interpreted as an indicator of greater attention orientation to emotional facial stimuli.

Follow-up P1 event related potential amplitude elicited during the emotional faces dot probe task. The investigators focused specifically on the P1 amplitude time-locked to the onset of emotional facial stimuli in the dot probe task. P1 amplitude was measured using EEG methodology. Higher scores indicate greater allocation of neural resources when viewing stimuli in the dot probe task, which can be interpreted as an indicator of greater attention orientation to emotional facial stimuli.

Attention Bias Modification Treatment is a computer-based attention training program.
Neutral Control Task uses the same computer-based format as Attention Bias Modification Treatment, but includes only neutral stimuli and does not train attention.
At each of eight sessions, participants complete 160 computer administered trials wherein a pair of threatening stimuli and neutral stimuli is presented simultaneously and then followed immediately by a probe. The probe always replaces the neutral stimulus and never replaces the threatening stimulus. The intervention is based on the idea that attention can be shaped via repetitive computer based training methods, and training attention toward neutral stimuli will lead to a reduction in social anxiety.

Actual (reported)Brain Response Associated With Parent-based Treatment for Childhood Anxiety Disorders
At each of eight sessions, participants complete 160 computer administered trials wherein a pair of neutral stimuli is presented simultaneously and then followed immediately by a probe. NCT matches ABMT on duration, format, and number of trials, but does not engage attention to social threat and does not train attention.
