Heightened attentional capture by threat in veterans with PTSD.
Although an attentional bias for threat-relevant cues has been theorized in posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), to date empirical demonstration of this phenomenon has been at best inconsistent. Furthermore, the nature of this bias in PTSD has not been clearly delineated. In the present study, veterans with PTSD (n = 20), trauma-exposed veterans without PTSD (n = 16), and healthy nonveteran co...
متن کاملAttentional focus on supra-postural tasks affects postural control.
We examined whether the attentional focus adopted on a supra-postural task has an influence on postural control. Similar to Riley, Stoffregen, Grocki, and Turvey (Human Movement Science 18 (1999) 795), participants were instructed to stand still while lightly touching a loosely hanging sheet with their fingertips. However, instructions varied slightly under two conditions: Participants were eit...
متن کاملElectromyographic reaction time in older female fallers and non-fallers after postural perturbation
The electromyographic reaction time (ERT) reflects the magnitude and speed with which muscles are activated to perform movements, to prevent injuries, or to position a joint. This parameter can be used to analyze postural control performance after an external perturbation and can be correlated with the possibility of falls in older adults. The objective of this study was to determine the ERT of...
متن کاملage and attentional focus related differences in postural control
postural control has an important role in daily activities and motor independence. in recent years, conscious aspects of postural control such as attention and cognitive processes have received attention for balance optimization performance. therefore, the present study designed to examine the age–related differences in postural control in the internal and external focus of attention. for this ...
متن کاملPostural control and attentional demand during adolescence.
In the present study we aimed to determine the attentional cost of postural control during adolescence by studying the influence of a cognitive task on concurrent postural control. 38 teenagers aged 12 to 17years and 13 young adults (mean age=26.1) stood barefoot on a force platform in a semi-tandem position. A dual-task paradigm consisted of performing a Stroop or a COUNTING BACKWARD task whil...
