这篇综述讨论了情绪和注意力处理之间的相互联系，并强调了行为和神经科学的发现。情绪刺激是自动编码的吗，这是什么意思？在有限容量的系统中，情绪刺激是如何被选择用于增强处理的？有证据表明，这一过程分为两个阶段：首先，情绪的重要性是通过涉及杏仁核的皮层下回路预先评估的；其次，在获得选择性注意力的竞争中，被认为具有情感意义的刺激被优先考虑。这个过程包括来自杏仁核的自下而上的输入，以及来自额叶区域的自上而下的影响，额叶区域涉及目标设定和维持工作记忆中的表征。这篇综述强调了当前文献的局限性、卓有成效的未来研究方向，以及超越“认知”与“情感”等简单二分法的必要性。
This review addresses the interconnections between emotional and attentional processing, with an emphasis on both behavioral and neuroscientific findings. Are emotional stimuli encoded automatically, and what does that mean? How are emotional stimuli selected for enhanced processing within a limited capacity system? Evidence suggests a two-stage process: First, emotional significance is evaluated preattentively by a sub-cortical circuit involving the amygdala; and second, stimuli deemed emotionally significant are given priority in the competition for access to selective attention. This process involves bottom-up inputs from the amygdala as well as top-down influences from frontal lobe regions involved in goal setting and maintaining representations in working memory. The review highlights limitations in the current literature, directions for fruitful future research, and the need to move beyond simple dichotomies such as 'cognition' versus 'emotion.'
