- Abstract
This document is an editorial published in the journal Frontiers in Psychology, discussing the importance of understanding cognitive mechanisms involved in threat processing and perception. The editorial emphasizes the need for further research in this area to improve interventions for anxiety disorders and phobias, as well as identify individuals more susceptible to exaggerated threat responses. It provides a brief summary of papers included in the research topic, covering various aspects of threat processing and perception. The article titled "No evidence of attentional prioritization for threatening targets in visual search" challenges previous assumptions about the prioritization of threatening stimuli in visual search tasks, suggesting that there is no evidence to support this notion.
