 Attention is powerfully influenced by emotional perceptions and
states, just as attention promotes the ability to control and
modulate emotions. Research has documented these processes both
in terms of facilitation and interference effects. In our
research, we are using ERPs to examine several questions about
the interplay between emotion and attention in adults and 5-7
year-old children. First, we are testing whether processing of
emotional faces influences attention performance, and whether
these links between emotion and attention differ depending on
affective
 individual differences (trait anxiety, depressed mood,
and approach/avoidance affective style). Second, we are
examining whether cognitive processing during an
emotionally-charged attention task can be used as a marker for
emotion regulation. Specifically, we are testing whether error-
and conflict-related ERPs can be used to predict the observed
ability to cope well with emotional challenges. |
