- Abstract
Perceived threats automatically trigger a narrowing of our perception, sharpening our focus at the expense of our peripheral vision, and this is a part of our involuntary response not just to red flags, but to anything that seems important. Early identification and management of psychological risk factors ("yellow flags") in patients with low back pain: a reappraisal. The sight of a non-blanching rash in a hot child, or cachexia in the patient not seen for a while triggers a familiar set of autonomic responses, including heightened alertness, a focus on action, and a knotted feeling in the stomach.
