Developmental pathways in youth anxiety disorders: potential mechanisms for (mal)adapting to crises and improving treatment ? a commentary on Klein et al. (2023) / Julia ASBRAND in Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 65-2 (February 2024)

Psychopathology and the development of anxiety disorders can be viewed as a failure to adapt to changing demands. We draw on a study by Klein et al. (Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 2023), which showed that anxious youths exhibited stronger conditioned fear responses and, during delayed extinction learning, greater electrocortical differences between threat and safety stimuli. Interestingly, these signatures of learning processes were also associated with treatment outcomes. We argue for developmentally sensitive research: Individual learning and associated cognitive-affective changes are strongly age-dependent and represent the key mechanism for both anxiety development and treatment. They also interact with social and environmental factors. Based on the call for age- and context-sensitive research, future research should focus on establishing reliable risk profiles that consider a variety of factors to enable evidence-based, individualized treatment decisions.

Eye movements, not reaction times, reveal anticipatory attentional bias in childhood social anxiety disorder / Nadine VIETMEIER in Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 67-7 (July 2026)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry > 67-7 (July 2026) . - p.1073-1084 Titre : Eye movements, not reaction times, reveal anticipatory attentional bias in childhood social anxiety disorder Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Nadine VIETMEIER, Auteur ; Nik DIETZE, Auteur ; Brunna TUSCHEN-CAFFIER, Auteur ; Julia ASBRAND, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1073-1084 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Hypervigilance  avoidance  attentional maintenance  children and adolescents  social phobia  gaze  eye-tracking Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Social anxiety disorder (SAD) is characterized by attentional biases that may contribute to its persistence. While adult models emphasize self-focused and hypervigilant attention, there is limited understanding of how these processes operate in children. This study examined internal and external attentional biases in children with SAD during anticipation of a social stress task?a period when anxiety is typically elevated. Methods Forty-two children with a primary SAD diagnosis and 46 healthy controls (HC), aged 9?14?years, completed a reaction time (RT) task with internal (bodily) and external (visual) probes during anticipation of a speech task, while facing a peer video audience. RTs to probes and eye movements toward audience faces were recorded. Results RTs did not differ between groups. Exploratory analyses revealed that age correlated negatively with RTs in both groups, suggesting developmental effects on processing speed, although no group differences in this relationship were found. Eye-tracking revealed that children with SAD exhibited more frequent and longer fixations on audience faces during the initial phase of the task compared to HCs. Conclusions Although RT tasks alone may not detect attentional biases in children with SAD, eye-tracking indicated heightened attention to socially salient cues during anticipation. These findings highlight the importance of multimodal assessment to capture subtle hypervigilance in pediatric SAD.
