Facilitate early visual processes e.g contrast sensitivity
1 of 16
In the emotional stroop task, negative words like 'cancer' can;
Cause MORE interference than neutral words
2 of 16
In a binocular rivalry task where face processing is subliminal;
The amygdala encodes the emotion of a face without awareness,the fusifform gyrus does not

What is the rationale behind a priming experiment??
A briefly presented stimulus which is unable to be reported facilitates the report of an identical/semantically related stimulus
4 of 16
What is the ideal finding in a typical priming experiment?
No concious report of the prime. Significantly better report of the second word if semantically related to the prime > unrelated, indicating unconscious processing
5 of 16
In Anderson & Phelps (2001), what was the main finding for the control participants?
Reduced attentional blink effects when target 2 is emotional
6 of 16
In Anderson & Phelps (2001), what was the main finding for the bilateral amygdala damage group?
No difference between emotional and neutral stimuli
7 of 16
Would enhanced contrast sensitivity induced from an emotionally arousing cue be useful for threat detection?
True
8 of 16
Which task would you use to measure attentional capture?
Emotional stroop task
9 of 16
Which task would you use to measure attentional maintaining?
Target onset detection task
10 of 16
What is a standard finding in target onset detection tasks?
A faster reaction time to detect a target onset when it is cued, the cue shifts attention to the SAME side of space
11 of 16
What is a boundary condition?
Emotion does not affect stimulus onset, but does affect more complex processes of perception and search
12 of 16
What is/are the main area(s) in the attention-orienting system?
Temporo-parietal junctionn and ventral frontal cortex
13 of 16
What was the main finding of MacLeod & Matthew's (1986) dot probe task expt?
People with GAD are faster in condition with the valid trial threatening words. Low anxiety people faster on invalid trial threatening words
14 of 16
How do binocular rivalry tasks work?
People have a colour dominance in which colour is seen first, red or green. Can control which stimuli participant is consciously aware of using filters on each eye.
15 of 16
In studies of blindsight pps, what was found re; amygdala activation?
Amygdala discriminates emotions of faces even if in scotoma i.e below concious processing
