Abstract
Background: Cognitive theories posit that all animal phobics develop a hypervigilance- avoidance attentional pattern when coping with threat. However, empirical research has failed to obtain consistent results. We aimed at addressing this issue by diminishing the methodological flaws that hinder the internal and ecological validity of previous studies.
