TLDR
These findings provide a resolution to the long-standing early and late selection debate within a load theory of attention that accommodates behavioural and neuroimaging data within a framework that integrates attention research with executive function.

How brains beware: neural mechanisms of emotional attention.

TL;DR: This work should help to elucidate the neural processes and temporal dynamics governing the integration of cognitive and affective influences in attention and behaviour.
Journal ArticleDOI

A taxonomy of external and internal attention.

TL;DR: A taxonomy based on the types of information that attention operates over--the targets of attention is proposed, providing an organizing framework that recasts classic debates, raises new issues, and frames understanding of neural mechanisms.
Journal ArticleDOI

An opportunity cost model of subjective effort and task performance.

TL;DR: It is argued that the phenomenology of effort can be understood as the felt output of these cost/benefit computations of the costs and benefits associated with task performance and motivates reduced deployment of these computational mechanisms in the service of the present task.
Journal ArticleDOI

Neurocognitive mechanisms of anxiety: an integrative account

TL;DR: Neuroimaging studies of conditioned fear, attention to threat and interpretation of emotionally ambiguous stimuli indicate common amygdala-prefrontal circuitry underlying these processes, and suggest that the balance of activity within this circuitry is altered in anxiety, creating a bias towards threat-related responses.
Journal ArticleDOI

The multi-component model of working memory: explorations in experimental cognitive psychology.

TL;DR: The current revision of the multi-component model that encompasses a central executive, two unimodal storage systems: a phonological loop and a visuospatial sketchpad, and a further component, a multimodal store capable of integrating information into unitary episodic representations, termed episodic buffer is presented.

On data-limited and resource-limited processes

TL;DR: The principles discussed show that conclusions about the interactions among psychological processes must be made with caution, and some existing assumptions may be unwarranted, as well as resulting in some new interpretations of interactions among competing psychological processes.

Action video game modifies visual selective attention

TL;DR: It is shown that action-video-game playing is capable of altering a range of visual skills, and non-players trained on an action video game show marked improvement from their pre-training abilities.
Journal ArticleDOI

Perceptual load as a necessary condition for selective attention.

TL;DR: It is concluded that physical separation is not a sufficient condition for selective perception; overloading perception is also required, which allows a compromise between early and late selection views and resolves apparent discrepancies in previous work.

Effects of attention and emotion on face processing in the human brain: An event-related fMRI study

TL;DR: The authors used event-related fMRI to assess whether brain responses to fearful versus neutral faces are modulated by spatial attention, and found that right fusiform activity was greater for fearful than neutral faces, independently of the attention effect on this region.
