Various psychiatric disorders such as major depression are associated with abnormalities in emotional processing. Evidence indicating involvement of the endocannabinoid system in emotional processing, and thus potentially in related abnormalities, is increasing. In the present study, we examined the role of the endocannabinoid system in processing of stimuli with a positive and negative emotion...

Social media platforms have been hypothesised to be a source of mental disorders develop, and emotional contagion has described as precursor these disorders. This paper systematically explores the key features psychophysiological behavioural experience required for conversion propose an innovative characterisation on digital socially construed value-laden phenomena.

Attentional biases to threat are considered central to anxiety disorders, however physiological evidence of their nature and time course is lacking. Event-related potentials (ERPs) characterized sensory and cognitive changes while 20 outpatients with panic disorder (PD), 20 with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and 20 healthy controls (HCs) responded to the color (emotional Stroop task) or ...

In this paper we examine the nature of automatic cognitive processing in anxiety disorders and Major Depressive Disorder (MDD). Rather than viewing automaticity as a unitary construct, we follow a social cognition perspective (Bargh, 1994) that argues for four theoretically independent features of automaticity: unconscious (processing of emotional stimuli occurs outside awareness), efficient (p...

The aim of the study is to investigate formation components speech readiness for school in preschool children with disorders. used research methods that allowed experimentally development readiness: cognitive, motivational and emotional. It has been established disorders all are impaired require specific training.

Recent studies in sleep and dreaming have described an activation of emotional and reward systems, as well as the processing of internal information during these states. Specifically, increased activity in the amygdala and across mesolimbic dopaminergic regions during REM sleep is likely to promote the consolidation of memory traces with high emotional/motivational value. Moreover, coordinated ...

The human startle eyeblink reflex is reliably modified by both cognitive and emotional processes. This review provides a comprehensive survey of the current literature on human startle modification and its psychological significance. Issues raised for short lead interval startle inhibition include its interpretation as a measure of protection of processing, sensorimotor gating and early attenti...

The study of development is, in and of itself, the study of change over time, but emotions, particularly emotional reactivity and emotional regulation, also unfold over time, albeit over briefer time-scales. Adolescence is a period of development characterized by marked changes in emotional processes and rewiring of the underlying neural circuitry, making this time of life formative. Yet this p...

The link between a physical illness and a psychological disorder in children and adolescents is well explored. Chronic somatic illness encompasses a broad spectrum of disorders including more common problems such as diabetes mellitus, obesity, asthma, epilepsy, eczema, and less prevalent conditions such as cystic fibrosis, hematological disorders or cancer. Many children more or less successful...
