Abstract
We collected pupillometry data on individuals of low and high anxiety as they completed the attentional network test. Results suggest anxiety is associated with altered performance of the orienting network and its relationship with the executive network, supporting a multiple-network hypothesis and ultimately, a more systemic, multifaceted intervention approach.
