Understanding Cognition-Emotion Interactions in Attention and Memory: An Integrative Approach

在过去的十年里，人们对认知与降级之间的相互作用产生了极大的兴趣，这是由于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介导认知-情感相互作用的大脑系统（例如，安德森Pessoa，2013年; Vuilleumier，2005年），这有助于这些现象的证据的权重。研究人员已经证明，在各种各样的条件下（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年;艾希，Geraerts，Schools，例如，纽曼和西尔斯，2015年），和实验对比个体在自然发生的情绪（例如，在积极和消极情绪的测量上得分高或低的个体;例如，Arndt，纽曼，&西尔斯，2014年）。在许多实验中，我们将通过在参与者参观实验室后1 - 2周进行附带识别测试来检查注意力和记忆力之间的因果关系。这些研究将极大地促进研究者对注意、记忆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要的影响。

During the past decade there has been a great deal of interest in the interactions between cognition andemotion, which has been driven by the recognition of the important implications of this research for both basicand clinical sciences. Neuroimaging studies have identified several brain systems involved in mediatingcognition-emotion interactions (e.g., Anderson Pessoa, 2013; Vuilleumier, 2005), which hascontributed to the weight of evidence for these phenomena. Researchers have shown that emotional stimuli areattended to more and remembered better than affectively neutral stimuli, under a wide variety of conditions(e.g., Murphy Sears, Thomas, LeHuquet, Yiend, 2010). Researchershave also shown that the shifts in mood we experience can affect the way we perceive the world, the way weattend to it, and how we remember it (e.g., Dolcos, 2010; Eich, Geraerts, Schooler, e.g., Newman & Sears, 2015), and experimentscontrasting individuals varying in naturally occurring moods (e.g., individuals scoring high or low onmeasures of positive and negative mood; e.g., Arndt, Newman, & Sears, 2014). In many experimentswe will examine the casual relations between attention and memory for emotional stimuli by administeringtests of incidental recognition 1-2 weeks after a participant’s lab visit. These studies will significantly advanceresearchers’ understanding of how attention, memory, and emotion are integrated in human cognition, and willhave significant implications for existing theories and new theory development.
