Capture of lexical but not visual resources by task-irrelevant emotional words: A combined ERP and steady-state visual evoked potential study
Numerous studies have found that emotionally arousing faces or scenes capture visual processing resources. Here we investigated whether emotional distractor words capture attention in an analogous way. Participants detected brief intervals of coherent motion in an array of otherwise randomly moving squares superimposed on words of positive, neutral or negative valence. Processing of the foregro...
متن کاملPositive emotion impedes emotional but not cognitive conflict processing
Cognitive control enables successful goal-directed behavior by resolving a conflict between opposing action tendencies, while emotional control arises as a consequence of emotional conflict processing such as in irony. While negative emotion facilitates both cognitive and emotional conflict processing, it is unclear how emotional conflict processing is affected by positive emotion (e.g., humor)...
متن کاملHow does emotional content affect lexical processing?
Even single words in isolation can evoke emotional reactions, but the mechanisms by which emotion is involved in automatic lexical processing are unclear. Previous studies using extremely similar materials and methods have yielded apparently incompatible patterns of results. In much previous work, however, words' emotional content is entangled with other non-emotional characteristics such as fr...
متن کاملNow You See It, Now You Don’t: Verbal But Not Visual Cues Facilitate Visual Object Detection
Does knowing what one is about to see make it easier to see it? The answer may depend on the source of the knowledge. Participants completed an object detection task in which they made an object-presence or -absence decision to brieflypresented letters. Hearing the letter name prior to the detection task facilitated detection (d’), but seeing a preview of the to-be-detected stimulus did not. Fo...
متن کاملVisual, auditory and tactile stimuli compete for early sensory processing capacities within but not between senses
We investigated whether unattended visual, auditory and tactile stimuli compete for capacity-limited early sensory processing across senses. In three experiments, we probed competitive audio-visual, visuo-tactile and audio-tactile stimulus interactions. To this end, continuous visual, auditory and tactile stimulus streams ('reference' stimuli) were frequency-tagged to elicit steady-state respon...
