TLDR
This work reviews recent evidence that has helped elucidate the cognitive hallmarks of trait anxiety, and suggests how previous discrepancies can be accommodated within ACT's prediction that reduced cognitive efficiency may be ameliorated by strategies such as compensatory effort.

Eye tracking of attention in the affective disorders: a meta-analytic review and synthesis.

TL;DR: Eye tracking research on anxiety and depression is reviewed, evaluating the experimental paradigms and eye movement indicators used to study attentional biases and suggesting avenues for future research using eye-tracking technology.
Journal ArticleDOI

Anxiety and working memory capacity: A meta-analysis and narrative review.

TL;DR: A narrative review of the literature revealed that anxiety, whether self-reported or experimentally induced, is related to poorer performance across a wide variety of tasks and identified a number of methodological limitations common in the literature as well as avenues for future research.

Mathematics Anxiety: What Have We Learned in 60 Years?

TL;DR: This paper focuses on what research has revealed about mathematics anxiety in the last 60 years, and what still remains to be learned.
Journal ArticleDOI

On the relationship between anxiety and error monitoring: a meta-analysis and conceptual framework.

TL;DR: It is argued that anxious apprehension/worry is the dimension of anxiety most closely associated with error monitoring and the conceptual framework helps explain this more specific relationship between anxiety and enhanced ERN and delineates the unique roles of worry, conflict processing, and modes of cognitive control.
Journal ArticleDOI

The neurobiology of emotion-cognition interactions: fundamental questions and strategies for future research.

TL;DR: This research demonstrates that stress, anxiety, and other kinds of emotion can profoundly influence key elements of cognition, including selective attention, working memory, and cognitive control, and suggests that widely held beliefs about the key constituents of ‘the emotional brain’ and “the cognitive brain” are fundamentally flawed.

Control of goal-directed and stimulus-driven attention in the brain

TL;DR: Evidence for partially segregated networks of brain areas that carry out different attentional functions is reviewed, finding that one system is involved in preparing and applying goal-directed selection for stimuli and responses, and the other is specialized for the detection of behaviourally relevant stimuli.
Journal ArticleDOI

Neural Mechanisms of Selective Visual Attention

TL;DR: The two basic phenomena that define the problem of visual attention can be illustrated in a simple example and selectivity-the ability to filter out un­ wanted information is illustrated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Conflict monitoring and cognitive control.

TL;DR: Two computational modeling studies are reported, serving to articulate the conflict monitoring hypothesis and examine its implications, including a feedback loop connecting conflict monitoring to cognitive control, and a number of important behavioral phenomena.
Journal ArticleDOI

Anxiety and cognitive performance: Attentional control theory.

TL;DR: Attentional control theory is an approach to anxiety and cognition representing a major development of Eysenck and Calvo's (1992) processing efficiency theory and may not impair performance effectiveness when it leads to the use of compensatory strategies (e.g., enhanced effort; increased use of processing resources).
Journal ArticleDOI

Visual search and stimulus similarity.

TL;DR: A new theory of search and visual attention is presented, which accounts for harmful effects of nontargets resembling any possible target, the importance of local nontarget grouping, and many other findings.
