Effects of trait test anxiety and state anxiety on children's working memory task performance
Ee Lynn Ng,Kerry Lee +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of trait test anxiety versus state anxiety and working memory load on children's mental arithmetic task performance were examined and it was found that anxiety-related deficits in effectiveness occur at higher levels of working memory loads.

Anxiety: Attention, the Brain, the Body, and Performance
TL;DR: In sport psychology, the relationship between competitive anxiety and performance has been one of the most debated and researched topics of enquiry as mentioned in this paper, however, the mechanisms underlying this relationship are still unclear, as are the reasons why performance can sometimes be optimal (clutch) and sometimes far below what should be achieved (choking).

TL;DR: Results imply that specific combinations of anxiety and depression dimensions are associated with failure to implement top-down attentional control as reflected in inefficient recruitment of posterior DLPFC and increased activation in regions associated with threat (MTG and worry) and worry.

Difficulty in disengaging attention from threatening facial expressions in anxiety: a new approach in terms of benefits.
TL;DR: LTA individuals can benefit from the emotional processing to make a rapid attentional shift and engagement to the target stimuli whereas HTA individuals did not and continue to process the threatening facial expression.
Journal ArticleDOI
Differentiating anxiety and depression: the State-Trait Anxiety-Depression Inventory
TL;DR: Evidence concerning convergent and discriminant validity with respect to related constructs is obtained in two smaller nonclinical and clinical samples, and factors influencing the association between components of anxiety and depression are discussed.

The unity and diversity of executive functions and their contributions to complex "Frontal Lobe" tasks: a latent variable analysis.
Akira Miyake,Naomi P. Friedman,Michael J. Emerson,Alexander H. Witzki,Amy Howerter,Tor D. Wager +5 more
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.
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
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.
Naomi P. Friedman,Akira Miyake +1 more
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.
