Perez-Edgar et al (2010a)	Childhood (14 months to 7 years) BI	Attention bias to threat in adolescence	BI predicts social withdrawal in adolescence but only for participants with attention bias to threat
Hardee et al (2013)	Childhood (14 months to 7 years) BI	Attention bias to threat in young adulthood	Amygdala–insula connectivity predicts self-report internalizing on diagnostic interview but only for participants with history of high BI

Table 1b provides a summary of published studies that have examined automatic attention processes as a moderator of the relation between early BI and anxiety-related outcomes.
