Randomized Clinical Trial of Attention Control Training for Symptoms of PTSD in Children
Participants will complete a pre and post training psychological assessment. Participants
will be assigned to attention control training or the comparison stimuli computer task in a
double-blind randomized control trial design. Both computerized dot probe tasks display two
faces on a computer screen, one above the other, followed by a small right or left arrow
appearing in the location vacated by one of the faces. Participants are required to respond
as quickly as they can by pressing the indicated right or left arrow on their computer
keyboard without compromising accuracy. Participants complete 6 training sessions.
