The findings indicate that the verbal nature of worry is implicated in the depletion of working memory resources during worry among high-worriers, and point to the potential value of imagery-based techniques in cognitive-behavioural treatments for problematic worry.
Given that individuals with problematic worry endorse an even greater predominance of verbal mentation in their worry (Hirsch et al., in preparation) enhancing training procedures for imagery mentation may be particularly important to consider for individuals with GAD.
