Modelling the Slow Emotional Stroop Effect: Suppression of Cognitive Control
نویسندگان
چکیده
Our connectionist model provides a theoretical explanation for the existence of slow and fast emotional Stroop effects, and depicts them as independent but interacting phenomena. We build upon previous modelling work by [1] and [2] among others, and incorporate data that suggest a functional division of the Anterior Cingulate Cortex (ACC) into Cognitive and Affective Divisions. This work suggests that slow emotional Stroop effects are caused by activation of the affective portion of the ACC, which inhibits the Cognitive division, reducing top-down cognitive control on the subsequent trial.

Aim: The aim of this study was to compare of the effect of tranquility and mindfulness on emotional cognitive regulation and family function in consuming slow-moving substances after detoxification. Method: This quasi-experimental study was a pre-test and post-test with a control group and a three-month follow-up period. The statistical population of the study included man patients who were ref...
متن کاملWord Wins Over Face: Emotional Stroop Effect Activates the Frontal Cortical Network
The prefrontal cortex (PFC) has been implicated in higher order cognitive control of behavior. Sometimes such control is executed through suppression of an unwanted response in order to avoid conflict. Conflict occurs when two simultaneously competing processes lead to different behavioral outcomes, as seen in tasks such as the anti-saccade, go/no-go, and the Stroop task. We set out to examine ...
متن کاملEffects of Emotion and Age on Cognitive Control in a Stroop Task
Research indicates that cognitive control is affected by aging and by emotion. However, no studies have addressed whether performance in an emotional Stroop task varies in older relative to younger adults. We examined the effect of aging in a classic Stroop color-naming task (Experiment 1) and in an emotional Stroop task using faces (Experiment 2). Results suggest that aging is associated with ...
متن کاملThe Role of Intelligence Quotient and Emotional Intelligence in Cognitive Control Processes
The relationship between intelligence quotient (IQ) and cognitive control processes has been extensively established. Several studies have shown that IQ correlates with cognitive control abilities, such as interference suppression, as measured with experimental tasks like the Stroop and Flanker tasks. By contrast, there is a debate about the role of Emotional Intelligence (EI) in individuals' c...
متن کاملConditioned task-set competition: Neural mechanisms of emotional interference in depression.
Depression has been associated with increased response times at the incongruent-, neutral-, and negative-word trials of the classical and emotional Stroop tasks (Epp et al., Clinical Psychology Review, 32, 316-328, 2012). Response-time slowdown effects at incongruent- and negative-word trials of the Stroop tasks were reported to correlate with depressive severity, indicating strong relevance of...
