The emotional Stroop task provides an experimental measure of selective attention to information. In the current study, effect was examined in a Spanish–English bilingual speaking population. results revealed that is robust phenomenon and replicable within Furthermore, highly proficient bilinguals demonstrated equal interference effects both their first language second language. study evidence automatic activation components words appearing more than one These are discussed with reference...
Öhman (1993) suggested that participants more readily pay attention to negative information than neutral information. Theoretically, this "automatic vigilance hypothesis" appears be evolutionarily derived ensure the proper detection of threatening stimuli thereby increasing probability survival. The current study was designed examine processing both positive and emotion words in a nonclinical sample using modified version attentional dot probe paradigm. In Experiment 1 were presented without...
A total of 1,363 images from seven sets facial stimuli were normed using the self-assessment manikin procedure. Each participant provided valence, arousal, and dominance ratings for 120-130 faces displaying various emotional expressions (e.g., happiness, sadness). The current work provides a large database that complements existing International Affective Picture System Norms English Words developed to provide normative set photographs words, respectively. This new will increase experimental...
Categorical negativity theory suggests that valence guides attention; whereas the arousal hypothesis modulates attention. The current study examined manner in which both and influence attentional capture of emotional words images using a dot-probe task. results revealed standard congruency effect for negative words, but not positive consistent with categorical theory. For images, all positive, highly arousing attracted attention indicating interact when processing images. suggest do visual...
Approximately one-third of individuals with 22q11.2 deletion syndrome (22q11DS), a common genetic disorder highly associated intellectual disabilities, may develop schizophrenia, likely preceded by mild to moderate cognitive decline.We examined adolescents and young adults 22q11DS for the presence executive function deficits using modified version Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (MCST) assessed whether specific performances were concurrent schizophrenia-prodrome symptoms. We also possible...
The representation of emotion words in memory is a relatively new area research within the cognitive domain. In present paper, these will be examined with use Stroop paradigm. past, this paradigm has been used to investigate wide variety word types, including color and color-related words. Only few studies have current study investigates particular set that were either congruent or incongruent they presented (e.g., ENVY green ink red ink), much like standard stimuli (RED ink). results...
Background: Many students use laptops in the classroom to take notes; however, even when are used for sole purpose of taking notes they can negatively impact academic performance. Objective: The current study examined state-dependent effects, and potential a match note quiz methods improve Method: Participants were placed into congruent (take by hand complete or using laptop an online quiz) incongruent condition hand). Results: results revealed that participants who took performed better on...
