The color of anxiety: Neurobehavioral evidence for distraction by perceptually salient stimuli in anxiety

TL;DR: Evidence is provided from multiple levels of analysis that attentional aberrations in anxiety reflect broad deficits in inhibiting distracting stimuli and are not limited to threat-relevant contexts.
Journal ArticleDOI

A systematic review of the anxiety-attention relationship in far-aiming skills

TL;DR: In this article, the authors systematically review the literature on the anxiety and motor performance relationship and find that disruptions to attention as a critical mediating factor are a critical determinant of motor performance.
Journal ArticleDOI

Spontaneous emotion regulation and attentional control.

TL;DR: Both higher self-reported attentional control and lower executive control network functioning predicted a faster spontaneous emotional downregulation after exposure to affectively neutral pictures.

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.
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.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.
