DOI: 10.1016/j.actpsy.2020.103068
Abstract: Previous research has demonstrated that fully irrelevant distractors - i.e., not sharing any feature with the target - capture our attention and modulate our responses. In the present study, we explored this interference by irrelevant… read more here.

DOI: 10.1037/emo0000329
Abstract: Stimuli that attract exogenous attention have been shown to interfere with behavioral performance on various tasks. In the present study, participants performed multiple-object tracking (MOT) in conditions where either neutral or negatively valenced images were… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/02699931.2019.1666799
Abstract: ABSTRACT Emotional information captures attention due to privileged processing. Consequently, performance in cognitive tasks declines (i.e. emotional distraction, ED). Therefore, shielding current goals from ED is essential for adaptive goal-directed- behaviour. It has been shown… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/02699931.2019.1668750
Abstract: ABSTRACT Our cognitive system implicitly binds relevant stimulus features into a coherent episodic event. According to past research, relative to young adults, older adults are more likely to hyper-bind extraneous co-occurrences and tend to prioritise… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/psyp.12912
Abstract: The active maintenance of information in visual working memory (WM) is known to rely on the sustained activity over functional networks including frontal, parietal, occipital, and temporal cortices. Previous studies have described interference-based disturbances in… read more here.

Proactive Control of Emotional Distraction: Evidence From EEG Alpha Suppression
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "Frontiers in Human Neuroscience"
DOI: 10.3389/fnhum.2020.00318
Abstract: Biased attention towards emotional stimuli is adaptive, as it facilitates responses to important threats and rewards. An unfortunate consequence is that emotional stimuli can become potent distractors when they are irrelevant to current goals. How… read more here.
