Sex Attracts: Investigating Individual Differences in Attentional Bias to Sexual Stimuli
We investigated the impact of sexual stimuli and the influence of sexual motivation on the performance in a dot-probe task and a line-orientation task in a large sample of males and females. All pictures (neutral, erotic) were rated on the dimensions of valence, arousal, disgust, and sexual arousal. Additionally, questionnaires measuring sexual interest/desire/motivation were employed. The rati...
متن کاملZooming into creativity: individual differences in attentional global-local biases are linked to creative thinking
While recent studies have investigated how processes underlying human creativity are affected by particular visual-attentional states, we tested the impact of more stable attention-related preferences. These were assessed by means of Navon's global-local task, in which participants respond to the global or local features of large letters constructed from smaller letters. Three standard measures...
متن کاملThe Origins of Snake and Spider Fear: How Infants Learn to Associate Evolutionary Fear-Relevant Stimuli and Paired Stimuli
Previous research has demonstrated that female infants are capable of learning paired associations between predatory and emotional stimuli that male infants do not learn (Rakison, in review). These findings come in conjunction with evidence pointing towards inherent evolutionary psychological learning mechanisms that allow for the rapid detection of, attending to, and learning about predatory a...
متن کاملIndividual differences and attentional varieties.
With its own functional anatomy, circuitry and cellular structure, attention can be viewed as an organ system. This conceptualization reframes many problems in cognitive science and permits important insights into neurological and psychiatric disorders of both children and adults. Specifically, construing attention as an organ system helps to describe the evolutionary and developmental aspects ...
متن کاملIndividual differences in the modulation of fear-related brain activation by attentional control.
In this article, we consider the extent to which variations in the neural activation associated with fear-related stimuli are obligatory or optional. More specifically, we investigated modulation of activation according to type of encoding operation, and how this relates to individual differences in fearfulness and attentional control. In an fMRI study, fear-related (relative to neutral) pictur...
