Attention Control and Attention to Emotional Stimuli in Anxious Children Before and After Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
Marie Louise Reinholdt-Dunne,Karin Mogg,Signe Vangkilde,Brendan P. Bradley,Barbara Hoff Esbjørn +4 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the effect of individual cognitive behavioral therapy on attentional variables in children with anxiety disorders compared with disorder-free children, and found that clinically anxious children exhibit both increased attention to emotional information and impaired attention control.
Journal ArticleDOI
Examination Stress Results in Attentional Bias and Altered Neural Reactivity in Test-Anxious Individuals.
TL;DR: Examination stress resulted in attentional bias and functional perturbations of a brain circuitry that reacted rapidly to test-related threat in high test-anxious individuals, and ERP data revealed the relatively enhanced LPP amplitude in low test- anxious participants compared with that in hightest-an anxious participants.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Shared Etiology of Attentional Control and Anxiety: An Adolescent Twin Study.
Jeffrey R. Gagne,Deirdre L. O’Sullivan,Nicole L. Schmidt,Catherine A. Spann,H. Hill Goldsmith +4 more
TL;DR: Investigation of the etiology of attentional control and four different anxiety symptom types in an adolescent sample of over 400 twin pairs suggests that AC is a phenotypic and genetic risk factor for anxiety in early adolescence, with somewhat differing levels of risk depending on symptomatology.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pupillometric and saccadic measures of affective and executive processing in anxiety.
TL;DR: Evidence in anxiety of enhanced, sustained and inflexible patterns of pupil responding during affective stimulus processing and cognitive load that precede deficits in task performance is provided.
Journal ArticleDOI
Perceptual load and early selection: an effect of attentional engagement?
Karina J. Linnell,Serge Caparos +1 more
TL;DR: Lavie (1995) attempted to reconcile these theories by suggesting that early and late selection occur, respectively, when the perceptual load associated with the selection of the target is high and low.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.
