  • Evaluating Mindfulness Training as a Cognitive Performance Enhancement Tool

    Open AccessEkaterina Denkova, Taylor K Tardibuono et al.ARTICLEMindfulness2026

  • Mind-wandering increases in frequency over time during task performance

    Open AccessAnthony P Zanesco, Ekaterina Denkova et al.ARTICLEPsychological Bulletin2025

    Attention has a seemingly inevitable tendency to turn inward toward our thoughts. Mind-wandering refers to moments when this inward focus diverts attention away from the current task-at-hand. Mind-wandering is thought to be ubiquitous, having been estimated to occur between 30% and 50% of our waking moments. Yet, it is unclear whether this frequency is similar within-task performance contexts and unknown whether mind-wandering systematically incr…

  • Experience sampling of the degree of mind wandering distinguishes hidden attentional states

  • The role of expectations and habitual emotion regulation in emotional processing

    Open AccessEmily G Brudner, Ekaterina Denkova et al.ARTICLEEmotion2017

    Available evidence from separate lines of event-related potential (ERP) research has highlighted the role of expectations and emotion regulation on emotional processing by revealing that (i) expectations can alter emotional responses, and (ii) the instructed use of emotion regulation strategies may modulate emotional responses. Yet, little is known about the interplay between expectations and habitual emotion regulation strategies prior to and at…

  • Dissocier les effets facilitants et les effets délétères de l’émotion sur la cognition

    Open AccessFlorin Dolcos, Ekaterina DenkovaARTICLESanté mentale au Québec2016

    L’émotion est une « arme à double tranchant » qui peut soit améliorer, soit détériorer des aspects divers de notre cognition et de notre comportement. Par exemple, la charge émotionnelle d’un événement peut attirer l’attention et renforcer la mémoire de cet événement, par contre une information émotionnelle, sans pertinence pour la tâche cognitive en cours, peut être considérée comme une distraction et ainsi entraîner la détérioration de la perfo…

  • Dissociating Enhancing and Impairing Effects of Emotion on Cognition

    Open AccessFlorin Dolcos, Ekaterina DenkovaOTHEREmerging Trends in the Social and…2015

    Emotion is a “double‐edged sword” that can either enhance or hinder various aspects of our cognition and behavior. The emotional charge of an event can increase attention to and memory for that event, whereas task‐irrelevant emotional information may lead to increased distraction and impaired performance in ongoing cognitive tasks. These opposing effects of emotion can be identified at different levels, both within the same cognitive process and …

  • Reliving emotional personal memories

    Ekaterina Denkova, Sanda Dolco et al.ARTICLEEmotion2012

    Although available evidence suggests that the emotional valence and recollective properties of autobiographical memories (AMs) may be influenced by personality- and sex-related differences, overall these relationships remain poorly understood. The present study investigated these issues by comparing the effect of general personality traits (extraversion and neuroticism) and specific traits linked to emotion regulation (ER) strategies (reappraisal…
