  • Assessing the influence of emotional expressions on perceptual sensitivity to faces overcoming interocular suppression

    Renzo C Lanfranco, Hugh Rabagliati et al.ARTICLEEmotion2023

    Detecting faces and identifying their emotional expressions are essential for social interaction. The importance of expressions has prompted suggestions that some emotionally relevant facial features may be processed unconsciously, and it has been further suggested that this unconscious processing yields preferential access to awareness. Evidence for such preferential access has predominantly come from reaction times in the breaking continuous fl…

  • Monetary and non-monetary rewards reduce attentional capture by emotional distractors

    Open AccessAmy T Walsh, David Carmel et al.ARTICLECognition & Emotion2021

    Irrelevant emotional stimuli often capture attention, disrupting ongoing cognitive processes. In two experiments, we examined whether availability of rewards (monetary and non-monetary) can prevent this attentional capture. Participants completed a central letter identification task while attempting to ignore negative, positive, and neutral distractor images that appeared above or below the targets on 25% of trials. Distraction was indexed by slo…

  • Contrasting reactive and proactive control of emotional distraction

    Gina M Grimshaw, John Kotcher et al.ARTICLEEmotion2017

    Attending to emotional stimuli is often beneficial, because they provide important social and environmental cues. Sometimes, however, current goals require that we ignore them. To what extent can we control emotional distraction? Here we show that the ability to ignore emotional distractions depends on the type of cognitive control that is engaged. Participants completed a simple perceptual task at fixation while irrelevant images appeared periph…

  • Murder, she wrote

    Open AccessMaha Nasrallah, David Carmel et al.ARTICLEEmotion2009

    Enhanced sensitivity to information of negative (compared to positive) valence has an adaptive value, for example, by expediting the correct choice of avoidance behavior. However, previous evidence for such enhanced sensitivity has been inconclusive. Here we report a clear advantage for negative over positive words in categorizing them as emotional. In 3 experiments, participants classified briefly presented (33 ms or 22 ms) masked words as emoti…
