选择性注意和情绪的过程共同作用，确定思想和行动的优先顺序。大量证据表明，情感上的显着刺激和情感状态可以决定视觉注意力的分配方式。然而，调节注意力和情绪影响的大脑区域包括共享和相互连接的结构。这就提出了一个关于交互效应的有趣问题：注意力是否也会影响情绪反应？在这里，我们回顾了一系列研究，这些研究表明确实如此。结果表明，注意力会对中性视觉刺激（抽象图案和陌生面孔）产生负面情感影响，在执行任务期间必须忽略或以其他方式抑制这些刺激。选择性注意对视觉刺激具有明显的情感影响的发现代表了关于人脑两个主要优先级系统之间关系的一项新的、基本的发现。
Processes of selective attention and emotion operate together in prioritizing thoughts and actions. Abundant evidence suggests that emotionally salient stimuli and affective states can determine how visual attention is allocated. However, the brain regions mediating the effects of attention and emotion include shared and reciprocally connected structures. This raises an intriguing question about a reciprocal effect: Does attention also influence emotional responses? Here we review a series of studies that show that indeed it does. The results indicate that attention has a negative affective impact for otherwise neutral visual stimuli (abstract patterns and unfamiliar faces) that must be ignored or otherwise inhibited during the performance of a task. Finding that selective attention has distinct affective consequences for visual stimuli represents a new, fundamental discovery about the relation between the two main systems of prioritization in the human brain.
