The Effect of Attention<br />

(Taylor & Asmundson, 2004)<br />

Behavioral Experiments:<br />

• Purposely focus on sensations in throat – notice<br />

presence of itchiness, scratchiness, or dryness<br />

may lead to coughing or throat clearing<br />

• Purposely focus upon one’s scalp – notice<br />

sensations of itchiness, tension or tingling<br />

• Purposely focus upon one’s eyes blinking –<br />

notice fluttering sensations in eyes<br />

Attention Modification for HC<br />

• Reduces level of body-focused scrutiny<br />

• Shifting focus of attention from internal to<br />

external can reduce detection of bodily<br />

sensations<br />

• Attention Training Technique (Papageorgiou &<br />

Wells, 1998; Wells, 1997) can improve attention<br />

flexibility<br />
