Moderator Role of Looming Cognitive Style (LCS) in the Relationship Between Attentional Control and Anxiety: Difference Between Shifting and Focusing Dimensions.

TL;DR: For individuals who have high LCS and low shifting ability, content of and distress coming from looming images is experienced in a more intense manner due to difficulty in shifting to another (perhaps less anxiety provoking) content more flexibly.

An investigation examining the effects of specificity within the construct of anxiety on planning and execution of movement

TL;DR: In this article, a series of experiments were conducted to investigate whether anxiety conforms to the principles of specificity and found that a change in anxiety mood state between acquisition and transfer results in a decrement in performance.

Are General Anxiety, Reading Anxiety, and Reading Self-Concept Linked to Reading Skills Among Chinese Adolescents With and Without Dyslexia?

TL;DR: This article investigated the cross-sectional relationship between reading-related affective and cognitive factors and reading skills among adolescents with and without dyslexia, and found that readers with dyslexias reported higher levels of general anxiety and reading anxiety and lower levels of reading self-concept than typical readers.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined how variations in attentional control relate to the presence or severity of psychosis-proneness symptoms in youth with chromosome 22q11.2 deletion syndrome.

The unity and diversity of executive functions and their contributions to complex "Frontal Lobe" tasks: a latent variable analysis.

TL;DR: The results suggest that it is important to recognize both the unity and diversity ofExecutive functions and that latent variable analysis is a useful approach to studying the organization and roles of executive functions.

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).

The Cognitive Failures Questionnaire (CFQ) and its correlates

TL;DR: A questionnaire measure of self-reported failures in perception, memory, and motor function, the most plausible view is that cognitive failure makes a person vulnerable to showing bad effects of stress, rather than itself resulting from stress.
Journal ArticleDOI

Anxiety and Performance: The Processing Efficiency Theory

TL;DR: Theories of anxiety and performance need to address at least two major issues: (1) the complexity and apparent inconsistency of the findings; and (2) the conceptual definition of task difficulty as mentioned in this paper.

The relations among inhibition and interference control functions: a latent-variable analysis.

TL;DR: The results suggest that the term inhibition has been overextended and that researchers need to be more specific when discussing and measuring inhibition-related functions.
