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，人们对认知和认知之间的相互作用产生了极大的兴趣。 情绪，这是由于认识到这项研究的重要意义， 和临床科学。神经影像学研究已经确定了几个参与调解的大脑系统， 认知-情感交互（例如，安德森佩索阿，2013年; Vuilleumier，2005年），其中 为这些现象提供了有力的证据。研究表明，情绪刺激 在各种各样的条件下，与情感中性的刺激相比， (e.g., Murphy Sears，托马斯，LeHuquet，Yiend，2010）.研究人员 也表明，我们经历的情绪变化会影响我们感知世界的方式， 注意它，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）.的 精确跟踪和记录个人目光的能力将使我们的实验能够辨别出个人 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 在由多个单词或图像组成的显示器内的随后的注意力转移。我们也会用眼睛 注视跟踪测量注意力从情绪刺激中脱离的速度（注意力从情绪刺激中脱离的速度）。 从单词或图像移开），这比使用手动响应延迟来推断要优越上级 注意力脱离我的研究计划将包括实验对比实验诱导 情绪（通过积极和消极情绪诱导过程;例如，纽曼，例如，阿恩特，纽曼的实验室访问。这些研究将大大推进 研究人员对注意力、记忆力和情感如何整合到人类认知中的理解， 对现有理论和新理论的发展具有重要意义。
