This review considers evidence from cognitive experimental investigations of attentional
processing of emotional information. The review contrasts findings from the general …

The emotional attentional blink (EAB), also known as emotion-induced blindness, refers to a
phenomenon in which the brief appearance of a task-irrelevant, emotionally arousing image …

The current study investigated the association between neural engagement with task-
irrelevant images and subsequent interference with target processing using the Emotional …

Emotional visual scenes are such powerful attractors of attention that they can disrupt
perception of other stimuli that appear soon afterward, an effect known as emotion-induced …

Arousal-biased competition theory predicts that arousal biases competition in favor of
perceptually salient stimuli and against non-salient stimuli (Mather and Sutherland,). The …

Background Experimental research has shown that emotional stimuli can either enhance or
impair attentional performance. However, the relative effects of specific emotional stimuli …

Temperament research has highlighted the importance of attentional control in both emotion
regulation and as a predictor of psychopathology. Enhanced susceptibility to emotional …

Emotion regulation deficits are associated with various emotional disorders. Therefore,
studies have attempted to improve emotion regulation ability to prevent psychopathological …

Emotional stimuli attract spatial attention, sometimes improving perception at their location.
But they also can disrupt awareness of targets at their location, a phenomenon known as …

Attentional biases to threatening stimuli have been implicated in various emotional
disorders. Theoretical approaches often carry the implicit assumption that various attentional …
