Questioning the role of amygdala and insula in an attentional capture by emotional stimuli task
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "Human Brain Mapping"
DOI: 10.1002/hbm.25290
Abstract: Our senses are constantly monitoring the environment for emotionally salient stimuli that are potentially relevant for survival. Because of our limited cognitive resources, emotionally salient distractors prolong reaction times (RTs) as compared to neutral distractors.… read more here.

Attentional capture by alcohol-related stimuli may be activated involuntarily by top-down search goals

DOI: 10.1007/s00213-018-4906-8
Abstract: Previous research has found that the attention of social drinkers is preferentially oriented towards alcohol-related stimuli (attentional capture). This is argued to play a role in escalating craving for alcohol that can result in hazardous… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.addbeh.2020.106745
Abstract: BACKGROUND While it is generally recognised that cognitive attributes can predict behaviour change outcomes in the field of addiction this question is typically studied in treatment seeking samples (to predict treatment outcomes and relapse). However… read more here.

Are the warning icons more attentional?

DOI: 10.1016/j.apergo.2017.05.012
Abstract: The rapid growth of attention to visual warnings is a representation of the adaptive behavior of humans. However, the ways warning icons attract attention in the cognition context has yet to be clarified. This research… read more here.

Electrophysiological evidence for attentional capture by irrelevant angry facial expressions: Naturalistic faces

DOI: 10.1016/j.neulet.2016.11.055
Abstract: Recently, research on lateralized event related potentials (ERPs) in response to irrelevant distractors has revealed that angry but not happy schematic distractors capture spatial attention. Whether this effect occurs in the context of the natural… read more here.

Compulsivity is measurable across distinct psychiatric symptom domains and is associated with familial risk and reward-related attentional capture

DOI: 10.1017/s1092852919001330
Abstract: Abstract Background. Compulsivity can be seen across various mental health conditions and refers to a tendency toward repetitive habitual acts that are persistent and functionally impairing. Compulsivity involves dysfunctional reward-related circuitry and is thought to… read more here.

Statistical Regularities Modulate Attentional Capture

DOI: 10.1037/xhp0000472
Abstract: The present study investigated whether statistical regularities can influence visual selection. We used the classic additional singleton task in which participants search for a salient shape singleton while ignoring a color distractor singleton. The color… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/13506285.2017.1370052
Abstract: ABSTRACT Humans have shown a detection advantage of direct vs. averted gaze stimuli in visual search tasks. However, instead of attentional capture by direct gaze, the detection advantage in visual search may depend on attention-grabbing… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/13506285.2019.1617377
Abstract: ABSTRACT Must attention be disengaged from a location before it can be moved to another? We addressed this question in four experiments. Participants searched for a target defined by its colour. The search display followed… read more here.

Irrelevant emotional distractor faces and attentional capture by individuals with cognitive vulnerability to depression
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Nordic Psychology"
DOI: 10.1080/19012276.2019.1675089
Abstract: Abstract This study investigated attentional capture by individuals with cognitive vulnerability to depression (CVD), by using irrelevant emotional distractor faces. The hypothesis was that, during face-orientation decision tasks, both happy and sad task-irrelevant emotional faces… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/psyp.14211
Abstract: EEG methods offer a promising approach to study the development of attention or attention-related processes such as change-detection and attentional capture. However, the development of these attention processes from early to middle childhood is not… read more here.
