Mean (SD) and range of working memory (WM) (% near and distant correct), anxiety symptoms, stroop interference score (ms), attentional bias score (ms) at measures at time 1 (T1- pre-intervention), time 2 (T2 – post-intervention) and time 3 (T3 – follow-up) in the WM and CBT groups.

^∗∗N = 13 participants; ^#N = 19 participants, ^∗interference scores indicate the RT (ms) differences between incongruent versus congruent trial (increased positive scores reflect greater interference) and N = 18 participants completed the stroop test in the CBT group because one participant reported color blindness. ^@Indicates bias toward threat and bias away from threat collapsed across groups.
