• Abstract

  Visuospatial working memory (VSWM) stores, processes, and manipulates relevant information coming from the vision in order to execute cognitive tasks. Attention modulates the retrieval process of the information stored in the VSWM and can be directed to the perceived environment and to the representations stored within memory. Spatial retroactive cues improve participants' performance in …

  The role of attention and visual processing in the retrocue effect, BP.MS

• Abstract

  Several studies have demonstrated that emotional stimulus receive priority processing as attention selection is likely focused on the emotion relevant stimulus dimensions. In depressive disorders, for example, even irrelevant negative stimuli gain prioritized attention selection. The role of emotional information on working memory is associated with a hedonic detector, capable of interpre…

  Effect of Mood and Emotional Content on Working Memory: The role of the Central Executive and Hedonic Detector, BP.DR

• Abstract

  This study will investigate the storage capacity for visual information, color and form, taken alone and in association with others using two evaluation procedures, recognition task and a recall task. Our goal is to develop an assessment tool storage capacity of integrated information that can be used simply and quickly in situations of psychological and neuropsychological assessment. (AU)

• Abstract

  This study aims to investigate how visual working memory load and attentional resources affects emotional face recognition. Fifty volunteers (25 women) without significant depression or anxiety symptoms as assessed by Beck's inventories will participate in the experiment. The participants will perform a recognition task with set sizes of 2, 3 and 4 faces (happy, neutral, angry, sad) in a …

  Attentional Effects on Emotional Content in Working Memory, BE.EP.DR

• Abstract

  We will study the efficacy of depth and similarity as criteria for stimuli selection in the visual search task. The relevant stimuli to the visual search task (target and distractors) will be randomly distributed among background elements from which they will differ on depth or similarity. The basic idea is that the relevant stimuli will be selected and then analyzed. A parallel selection…
