Emotional stimuli capture spatial attention but do not modulate spatial memory
There is evidence that emotional stimuli capture spatial attention and that visual memory is enhanced for emotional content. Here we examine the relationship between emotional content of stimuli and interactions with spatial memory. To assess spatial memory, a modified version of the Corsi Blocks Task (CBT), utilising emotional stimuli, was employed. In the CBT a series of spatial positions are...
متن کاملElectrophysiological markers indicate disturbance of involuntary attention, but not voluntary attention, in adult ADHD patients
When we cannot concentrate on reading a book, we have problems with voluntary attention. When we stand up and stumble on a chair leg, we have a problem with involuntary attention. A bimanual Stroop task (ST) and the Ericson’s flanker task (EFT) were used for the analysis of voluntary and involuntary attention, respectively. Electrophysiological markers of attention were applied in adult ADHD pa...
متن کاملDopamine D4 receptor gene variation is associated with context-dependent attention for emotion stimuli.
Dopamine D(4) receptor (DRD4) gene variation has been associated with biased attention for contextually relevant information (e.g. images of cigarettes among smokers). No research has examined whether DRD4 variation is associated with biased attention for contextually cued emotion stimuli, an important putative intermediate phenotype for a number of pathologies (e.g. depression and anxiety). We...
متن کاملEmotional content enhances true but not false memory for categorized stimuli.
Past research has shown that emotion enhances true memory, but that emotion can either increase or decrease false memory. Two theoretical possibilities-the distinctiveness of emotional stimuli and the conceptual relatedness of emotional content-have been implicated as being responsible for influencing both true and false memory for emotional content. In the present study, we sought to identify ...
متن کاملEmotional stimuli exert parallel effects on attention and memory.
Because emotional and neutral stimuli typically differ on non-emotional dimensions, it has been difficult to determine conclusively which factors underlie the ability of emotional stimuli to enhance immediate long-term memory. Here we induced arousal by varying participants' goals, a method that removes many potential confounds between emotional and non-emotional items. Hungry and sated partici...
