Emotional stimuli capture spatial attention but do not modulate spatial memory
There is evidence that emotional stimuli capture spatial attention and that visual memory is enhanced for emotional content. Here we examine the relationship between emotional content of stimuli and interactions with spatial memory. To assess spatial memory, a modified version of the Corsi Blocks Task (CBT), utilising emotional stimuli, was employed. In the CBT a series of spatial positions are...
متن کاملRewards modulate saccade latency but not exogenous spatial attention
The eye movement system is sensitive to reward.

To address these issues we examined the effects of presenting feedback that represented small monetary rewards to spatial ...

Appraisal theories of emotion posit a more general mechanism, predicting attention capture by stimuli that are relevant for the needs and goals of the organism, regardless of valence. To examine the brain-activation...
