在人类信息处理中，情感相关的刺激是优先的。已经反复证明，选择性空间注意受刺激的情绪内容的调节。到目前为止，研究这一现象的研究只考察了通道内效应，最常见的是使用情绪刺激的图片来调节视觉注意力。在本研究中，我们使用情绪性和中性韵律同时呈现的话语作为跨模式点探测任务中视觉呈现目标的线索。当目标出现在情绪韵律来源的位置时，对目标的反应时间更快。我们的结果首次显示了听觉情感韵律对视觉注意的跨模式注意调制。(C)2007 Elsevier B.V.保留所有权利。
Emotionally relevant stimuli are prioritized in human information processing. It has repeatedly been shown that selective spatial attention is modulated by the emotional content of a stimulus. Until now, studies investigating this phenomenon have only examined within-modality effects, most frequently using pictures of emotional stimuli to modulate visual attention. In this study, we used simultaneously presented utterances with emotional and neutral prosody as cues for a visually presented target in a cross-modal dot probe task. Response times towards targets were faster when they appeared at the location of the source of the emotional prosody. Our results show for the first time a cross-modal attentional modulation of visual attention by auditory affective prosody. (C) 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
