TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the association between anxiety and memory impairment in Parkinson's disease using the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) criteria for anxiety disorders and a standardized cognitive test battery.

Adult aging moderates the relationship between trait cognitive anxiety and subjective everyday cognitive difficulties
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the extent to which different dimensions of trait anxiety might affect subjective cognitive difficulties in everyday life and found that trait anxiety had a greater effect on attention and verbal abilities than on visual abilities.

Am I really seeing what’s around me? An ERP study on social anxiety under speech induction, uncertainty and social feedback
TL;DR: In this paper , speech anxiety was induced to socially anxious and control participants, and event-related potentials were recorded while participants performed a perceptual judgement task using distinct or ambiguous stimuli, before and after social feedback.

The effect of acute stress on spatial selectivity in dual-stream emotion induced blindness: The role of cortisol and spontaneous frontal EEG theta/beta ratio.
TL;DR: In this article , the authors explored the effect of acute stress on dual-stream emotion induced blindness (EIB) and found that stress promoted the target processing in the same stream location as the distractor, eliminating the spatial-localisation effect.

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.
