Using emotional film clips is one of the most popular and effective methods emotion elicitation. The main goal present study was to develop test effectiveness a new comprehensive set excerpts. Fifty experts were asked remember specific scenes that elicited fear, anger, sadness, disgust, amusement, tenderness, as well emotionally neutral scenes. For each emotion, 10 frequently mentioned selected cut into clips. Next, 364 participants viewed in individual laboratory sessions rated on multiple...
The present study investigates the emotional determinants of phenomenal characteristics autobiographical memories. A total 84 participants completed Memory Characteristics Questionnaire (MCQ, Johnson, Foley, Suengas, & Raye, 1988) after retrieving and orally describing a negative, positive, neutral memory. In addition, self-report physiological measures state at retrieval were recorded. Results suggest that recall perceptual, sensory, semantic elements is better for memories than ones. This...
A growing trend of neuroimaging, behavioral, and computational research has investigated the topic outcome uncertainty in decision-making. Although evidence to date indicates that humans are very effective learning adapt uncertain situations, nature specific cognitive processes involved adaptation still a matter debate. In this article, we reviewed suggesting control at heart decision-making contexts. Available suggests that: (1) There is strong conceptual overlap between constructs control;...
The study of uncertainty in decision-making is receiving greater attention the fields cognitive and computational neuroscience. Several lines evidence are beginning to elucidate different variants uncertainty. Particularly, risk, ambiguity, expected unexpected forms well articulated literature. In this article we review both empirical theoretical arguing for potential distinction between three uncertainty; uncertainty, volatility. Particular will be devoted exploring volatility which has...
There is growing awareness across the neuroscience community that replicability of findings about relationship between brain activity and cognitive phenomena can be improved by conducting studies with high statistical power adhere to well-defined standardised analysis pipelines. Inspired recent efforts from psychological sciences, desire examine some foundational using electroencephalography (EEG), we have launched #EEGManyLabs, a large-scale international collaborative replication effort....
The relation between emotion intensity and the voluntary activation of personal memories was investigated in 2 experiments. Two hypotheses were compared: specificity hypothesis, which states that is positively related to memories, strategic inhibition postulates specifying past experiences requires emotion. Study 1 showed priming a specific (vs. overgeneral) access mode autobiographical memory results less during subsequent mental imagery trial. replicated with wider array emotions different...
The human amygdala has classically been viewed as a brain structure primarily related to emotions and dissociated from higher cognition. We report here findings suggesting that the also role in supporting working memory (WM), canonical cognitive function. In first functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) study (n = 53), individual differences activity predicted behavioral performance 3-back WM task. Specifically, event-related amplitude faster response time (RT; r -0.64), with no loss of...
It has recently been suggested that low-spatial-frequency information would provide rapid visual cues to the amygdala for basic but ultrarapid behavioral responses dangerous stimuli. The present study investigated role of different spatial-frequency channels in visually detecting stimuli belonging living or nonliving categories. Subjects were engaged a detection task involving stimuli, and subjects’ assessed association with their fear expectations (induced by an aversive 90-dB white noise)....
Working memory (WM) processes are often thought to play an important role in the cognitive regulation of negative emotions. However, little is known about how they influence emotional processing. We report two experiments that tested whether a concurrent working task could modulate startle eyeblink effect, well-known index In both experiments, emotionally and neutral pictures were viewed conditions: "cognitive load" (CL) condition, which participants had actively maintain information while...
Abstract In this study, we report evidence that neural activity reflecting the encoding of emotionally neutral information in memory is reduced when and emotional stimuli are intermixed during encoding. Specifically, participants studied pictures organized mixed lists (in which were intermixed) or pure (only‐neutral only‐emotional pictures) performed a recall test. To estimate efficiency, used D m effect, measured with event‐related potentials. Recall for items was lower compared to...
We examined the impact of an 8-h exposure to short-wavelength-enriched white light during day on cognitive performance, alertness, and mood moderately sleep-restricted university students in a simulated classroom setting. A total 28 participants (mean age: 23.57 ± 2.69; 19 female) were assigned one two conditions, each with equal melanopic daylight efficacy ratio (melDER∼0.9). However, they differed photopic illuminances, falling within upper lower limits prescribed standards for lighting:...
The emotional enhancement of memory is often thought to be determined by attention. However, recent evidence using divided attention paradigms suggests that does not play a significant role in the formation memories for aversive pictures. We report study investigated this question paradigm which participants had encode lists randomly intermixed negative and neutral pictures under conditions full followed free recall test. Attention was highly demanding concurrent task tapping visual...
Substantial evidence indicates that decision outcomes are typically evaluated relative to expectations learned from relatively long sequences of previous outcomes. This mechanism is thought play a key role in general learning and adaptation processes but little known about the determinants outcome evaluation when capacity learn series prior events difficult or impossible. To investigate this issue, we examined how feedback-related negativity (FRN) modulated by information briefly presented...
