The active ingredient in EMDR: Is it traditional exposure or dual focus of attention? (Clinical Psychology and Psychotherapy)
Is EMDR similar to traditional exposure treatments (reliving), or more consistent with distancing (dual process of attention)?

Increased interhemispheric interaction is associated with earlier offset of childhood amnesia (Neuropsychology)
Results of two experiments build upon a growing body of research indicating an interhemispheric basis for the retrieval of episodic memories.

Is EMDR an exposure therapy? A review of trauma protocols (Journal of Clinical Psychology)
Possible reasons for the effectiveness of EMDR are discussed, including the nonexposure mechanisms utilized in information processing models.

EMDR: A putative neurobiological mechanism of action (Journal of Clinical Psychology)
We propose that the repetitive redirecting of attention in EMDR induces a neurobiological state, similar to that of REM sleep.

Effects of visuospatial tasks on desensitization to emotive memories (British Journal of Clinical Psychology)
Does relief of distress from competing visuospatial sketchpad tasks during imaginal exposure come at the cost of impaired desensitization?

Eye movement desensitization reprocessing facilitates attentional orienting (Imagination, Cognition and Personality)
We propose that EMDR’s eye movements facilitate the orienting response, i.e., the attentional adjustment to unexpected stimuli.
