The Effect of the Detection Engagement and Savoring Positivity (DESP) Task on Eye-Tracking of Attention

publié le

Janvier 2020. La DESP, un outil à visée thérapeutique qui permet de corriger les biais attentionnels en apprenant aux personnes à diriger volontairement leur attention vers de l’information positive, vient d’être publiée dans Journal of Behavior Therapy and Experimental Psychiatry (déclaration d’invention n°0487-UCADESPTASK).

Background and Objectives : We tested the effect of a new Attentional Bias Modification (ABM) task - the Detection Engagement and Savoring Positivity (DESP) task - on attentional biases. The DESP is innovative in that it involves a procedure of savoring the positivity of various pictures.

Methods : Participants were randomly assigned to the DESP or to a placebo control condition (experiment 1 ; n = 38) or a condition controlling for savoring (experiment 2 ; n = 54) in a pre-post/training experimental design. During one week, the participants completed the DESP or the control task once a day between three and six times. We assessed the effects of the DESP task on various attentional biases (i.e. positive, negative and threat) by computing dwell time from an eye-tracking technology before and after the training, and also one week after the post-training session in experiment 2.

Results : In both experiments, the attentional bias toward positive stimuli between the pre- and the post-training increased significantly more in the DESP task condition than in the control conditions. Negative and threat attentional biases were not significantly affected by the experimental manipulations. Experiment 2 revealed that the DESP task – including the savoring instruction – increased significantly more the positive attentional bias than a task excluding this step and that this effect remained significant one week after the post-training session.

Limitations : Our samples were mainly composed of women participants. This prevents generalization of the findings.

Conclusions : The DESP task offers promising perspectives for sustainably improving attention to positive information.
