A replication of Mathews and MacLeod's (Behav. Res. Ther. 23, 563-569, 1985) study, using a modified Stroop task, confirmed that threat words selectively interfere with the colour-naming performance of generally anxious patients, compared with normal controls. Clearer evidence was obtained of a highly specific interference effect of threat words that were congruent with the predominant worries reported by anxious patients. However, there was no evidence of a subsequent recognition memory bias for the threat words in anxious Ss. These results are discussed in relation to findings from other recent experiments investigating attentional and memory biases for threat-related information in anxiety states, and their implications for cognitive theories of anxiety are considered.
一项重复马修斯和麦克劳德（《行为研究与治疗》，第23卷，第563 - 569页，1985年）研究的实验，采用了改良的斯特鲁普任务，证实了与正常对照组相比，威胁性词语会选择性地干扰一般焦虑症患者的颜色命名表现。对于与焦虑症患者报告的主要担忧相一致的威胁性词语的高度特异性干扰效应，获得了更清晰的证据。然而，没有证据表明焦虑症患者对威胁性词语存在后续的识别记忆偏差。本文将结合近期其他研究焦虑状态下对威胁相关信息的注意和记忆偏差的实验结果进行讨论，并考虑这些结果对焦虑认知理论的启示。
