背景：尽管认知能力差被发现与焦虑有关，但神经认知功能是否影响对情绪信息的偏向认知加工仍不清楚。我们调查了用标准神经心理学测试评估的一般认知功能是否预测有偏见的认知，重点是对威胁的注意偏差。方法：105名健康青年完成了一项测量注意偏向的点探针式任务和测量一般认知功能的可重复神经心理状态成套测验，该测验包括五个领域：即时记忆、视觉空间/结构、语言、注意力和延迟记忆。采用逐步多元回归分析研究注意偏向与认知功能的关系。结果：注意领域是威胁偏向的最佳预测因子(β=−为0.26，p=0.006)。在注意领域内，数字符号编码与注意偏向呈负相关(r=−0.28，p=0.005)。结论：本研究首次提供了一般注意能力影响对威胁性信息的注意偏向的证据，该能力由标准神经心理学测验评估。个体的认知特征对于测量和修正认知偏差可能很重要。
Background: Although poorer cognitive performance has been found to be associated with anxiety, it remains unclear whether neurocognitive function affects biased cognitive processing toward emotional information. We investigated whether general cognitive function evaluated with a standard neuropsychological test predicts biased cognition, focusing on attentional bias toward threat. Methods: One hundred and five healthy young adults completed a dot-probe task measuring attentional bias and the Repeatable Battery for the Assessment of Neuropsychological Status (RBANS) measuring general cognitive function, which consists of five domains: immediate memory, visuospatial/constructional, language, attention, and delayed memory. Stepwise multiple regression analysis was performed to examine the relationship between attentional bias and cognitive function. Results: The attentional domain was the best predictor of attentional bias toward threat (β = −0.26, p = 0.006). Within the attentional domain, digit symbol coding was negatively correlated with attentional bias (r = −0.28, p = 0.005). Conclusions: The present study provides the first evidence that general attentional ability, which was assessed with a standard neuropsychological test, affects attentional bias toward threatening information. Individual cognitive profiles might be important for the measurement and modification of cognitive biases.
