Targeting separate specific learning parameters underlying cognitive behavioral therapy can improve perceptual judgments of anger

ConclusionsThis study demonstrates that specific decision parameters underlying perceptual judgment can be experimentally manipulated. Although our study failed to show diagnosis specific effects, it suggests that individual parameter “estimation” deficits may be experimentally isolated and potentially targeted, with the ultimate goal of developing an objective approach to personalized intervention targeting biased perceptual judgments in anxiety disorders.
