Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
<p>Primary study parameters/outcome: A repeated measures ANOVA with Target TMS SOA<br /><br>( 30ms , 60ms , 90ms , 120ms , 150ms , 180ms , 210ms , 240ms , 270ms , 300ms )<br /><br>and Target Type ( threatening ( CS + ) , non -threatening ( CS ) and<br /><br>Cuevalidity (valid, invalid ) as factors will be performed on percentage<br /><br>correct and reaction times. If appropriate, planned comparisons between the<br /><br>conditions will be carried out.</p><br>

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
<p>Secondary study parameters/outcome: In addition to our primary objective , we<br /><br>will investigate a possible correlation between the degree of<br /><br>anxiety as measured by the VAS and the STAI -T with re - orienting, as indexed<br /><br>by the difference in performance on the CS + target and CS- target.</p><br>
