Automatic vigilance for negative words in lexical decision and naming: comment on Larsen, Mercer, and Balota (2006).
An automatic vigilance hypothesis states that humans preferentially attend to negative stimuli, and this attention to negative valence disrupts the processing of other stimulus properties. Thus, negative words typically elicit slower color naming, word naming, and lexical decisions than neutral or positive words. Larsen, Mercer, and Balota analyzed the stimuli from 32 published studies, and the...

متن کاملAutomatic vigilance: the attention-grabbing power of negative social information.
One of the functions of automatic stimulus evaluation is to direct attention toward events that may have undesirable consequences for the perceiver's well-being. To test whether attentional resources are automatically directed away from an attended task to undesirable stimuli, Ss named the colors in which desirable and undesirable traits (e.g., honest, sadistic) appeared. Across 3 experiments, ...
متن کاملEarly attentional bias for negative words when competition is induced.
Previous research (Zeelenberg, Wagenmakers, & Rotteveel, 2006) revealed that emotionally meaningful words were identified significantly better than neutral words, with no difference between positive and negative words. Since in that study only a single target word was displayed at a time, we hypothesized that the equivalent performances for positive and negative words were due to a lack of comp...
متن کاملSpeciation as automatic categorical modularization
Real-world problems are often too difficult to be solved by a single monolithic system. Many natural and artificial systems use a modular approach to reduce the complexity of a set of subtasks while solving the overall problem satisfactorily. There are two distinct ways to do this. In functional modularization, the components perform very different tasks, such as subroutines of a large software...
