During the past decade there has been a great deal of interest in the interactions between cognition and*emotion, which has been driven by the recognition of the important implications of this research for both basic*and clinical sciences. Neuroimaging studies have identified several brain systems involved in mediating*cognition-emotion interactions (e.g., Anderson Pessoa, 2013; Vuilleumier, 2005), which has*contributed to the weight of evidence for these phenomena. Researchers have shown that emotional stimuli are*attended to more and remembered better than affectively neutral stimuli, under a wide variety of conditions*(e.g., Murphy Sears, Thomas, LeHuquet, Yiend, 2010). Researchers*have also shown that the shifts in mood we experience can affect the way we perceive the world, the way we*attend to it, and how we remember it (e.g., Dolcos, 2010; Eich, Geraerts, Schooler, e attention to stimuli (both images and words). The*ability to precisely track and record an individual's gaze will allow our experiments to discern individual*differences in the moment-by-moment processing of information, from the initial orientation of attention to*subsequent shifts of attention within displays composed of multiple words or images. We will also use eye*gaze tracking to measure the disengagement of attention from emotional stimuli (the speed at which attention*is shifted away from a word or image), which is superior to using manual response latencies to infer*attentional disengagement. My research program will include experiments contrasting experimentally-induced*moods (via positive and negative mood induction procedures; e.g., Newman e.g., Arndt, Newman, s lab visit. These studies will significantly advance*researchers' understanding of how attention, memory, and emotion are integrated in human cognition, and will*have significant implications for existing theories and new theory development.

在过去的十年里，人们对认知和情绪之间的相互作用产生了极大的兴趣，这是因为人们认识到这项研究对基础科学和临床科学的重要意义。神经影像学研究已经确定了几个参与调节认知-情感相互作用的大脑系统（例如，安德森Pessoa，2013年; Vuilleumier，2005年），这对这些现象的证据权重做出了贡献。研究人员已经证明，在各种各样的条件下，情感刺激比情感中性刺激更容易被注意和记住（例如，Murphy Sears，托马斯，LeHuquet，Yiend，2010）.研究人员还表明，我们经历的情绪变化会影响我们感知世界的方式，我们关注世界的方式，以及我们如何记住它（例如，Dolcos，2010;艾希，Geraerts，Schools，e注意刺激（图像和文字）.精确跟踪和记录个体注视的能力将使我们的实验能够辨别个体在信息处理过程中的每时每刻的差异，从最初的注意力方向到由多个单词或图像组成的显示器中随后的注意力转移。我们还将使用眼睛 * 凝视跟踪来测量注意力从情绪刺激中的脱离（注意力从一个单词或图像上转移的速度），这比使用手动反应延迟来推断注意力脱离要好上级。我的研究计划将包括对比实验诱导 * 情绪的实验（通过积极和消极的情绪诱导程序;例如，纽曼，例如，阿恩特，纽曼的实验室访问。这些研究将极大地推进研究者对注意力、记忆力和情绪如何整合到人类认知中的理解，并将对现有理论和新理论的发展产生重大影响。
