Childhood Trauma And Emotion Processing Neurocircuitry
… and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). These emotion-related disorders have their roots in childhood and adolescence, underscoring a critical need to understand their biological bases in early life. In this dissertation, we evaluate how childhood trauma impacts emotion processing …

Additive and Interactive Effects of Comorbidity During Emotion Processing
… measured by fMRI while individuals performed an emotion-word Stroop task. As predicted, brain activation distinguished anxious groups in a left inferior frontal region associated with speech production and in a right-hemisphere temporal area. A second hypothesis about left-frontal involvement in …

The Effects of Age and Task on Visual Emotion Processing
… stimuli are enhanced by positive and negative emotional expressions, with negativity leading to a greater benefit than positivity. Conversely, older adults demonstrate a positivity bias, devoting more attention to positive stimuli and less to negative. It is unclear if age differences in these …

Neuropsychological and emotion processing deficits in adults with bipolar disorder
… affected by bipolar I disorder (BP), however processing of emotional information has received relatively little attention, despite the fact that BP is characterized by emotion dysregulation. Although learning and memory deficits for non-emotional information have been found in BP, it has yet …

The influence of individual difference variables on vocal emotion processing
Extensive research has been done on vocal emotion processing and it has been repeatedly argued that individual difference variables can influence emotion processing. Few studies have, however, examined these differences systematically and comprehensively in the vocal emotion domain. Thus, three …

Event-related potential correlates of face-emotion processing impairments in bipolar disorder
… impairments, including those pertaining to face-emotion processing. Event-related brain potentials (ERPs) index multiple aspects of cognitive impairments; yet, prior BD research has mostly focussed on auditory ERPs. The aim of this thesis was firstly to determine the ERP correlates of …

Functional brain imaging of facial emotion processing in individuals with intellectual impairments
… used to investigate the role of autism in the processing of facial emotions in two cohorts – one with special educational needs and one with fragile X syndrome. Particular consideration was given to whether the emerging patterns of activations in any way mirrored those seen in the extant …

Narrative - Emotion processing in Motivational Interviewing and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Generalized Anxiety Disorder
… adaptive narratives in therapy involves processing and symbolizing (i.e., storying) emotional experience. The Narrative-Emotion Process Coding System (NEPCS) is a tool for coding in-session client behaviors that indicate 10 underlying narrative-emotion processes: Same Old Story, Empty …

Detecting Cardiovascular Emotional Dampening: An Exploration of Emotional Dampening at Different Levels of Emotion Processing
Background: Cardiovascular emotional dampening is the phrase used to describe the inverse relationship between blood pressure and emotional responsivity. The emotional dampening literature is limited, but the phenomenon is thought to be related to the development of cardiovascular disease. Little …

A behavioural and electrophysiological exploration into facial and vocal emotion processing in children with behaviour problems
… exploration of children’s facial and vocal emotion processing. Former research has suggested that social dysfunctioning in school-aged children with behaviour problems may stem from difficulties in understanding others’ emotions from facial expressions. Study 1 examined emotion processing …

Bidirectional Influence of Emotion Processing on Language Development in Infancy: Evidence from Eye-tracking Mothers and Infants
… study was to examine how infants' language and emotion development intersect around the end of the first year. Specifically, is learning enhanced when a speaker is happy vs. neutral? Eighteen 12-month-old infants were familiarized and tested on four word-object associations that varied in …

The Role of Cardiac Vagal Tone in Prediction of Individual Differences in Attention and Emotion Processing After Sleep Restriction
… in the mechanisms by which sleep loss impacts emotion processing. Recent investigations have begun to study physiological responses to emotional stimuli following sleep loss. There is also interest in identification of individual difference markers of vulnerability to sleep loss. The current …

The Influence Of Gender And Aging On The Neural Circuitry Supporing Facial Emotion Processing In Adults With Major Depressive Disorder
… (MDD) is associated with decrements in facial emotion processing (FEP). Previous studies investigating the neural substrates of these decrements have often reported hyperactivity of emotion processing circuitry. Neural circuitry supporting FEP has been shown to be different between healthy men …

Comparable- but atypical emotion processing in high-functioning children with Autism spectrum disorders : Evidence from facial emotion recognition and facial emotion imitation
… aimed to examine if children with ASD process emotions comparably to TD children or if they show emotion processing difficulties, with particular focus on the recognition- and imitation of facial emotional expressions and on processing human faces. Furthermore, the thesis sought to contrast the …

Large-scale Functional Connectivity in the Human Brain Reveals Fundamental Mechanisms of Cognitive, Sensory and Emotion Processing in Health and Psychiatric Disorders
… the large-scale networks underlying the processing of supraliminal (Chapter 4, (Pantazatos et al., 2012a)) and subliminal (Chapter 5, (Pantazatos, Talati et al., 2012b)) emotional threat signals, speech and song processing in autism (Chapter 6, (Lai et al., 2012)), and face processing in …

The Effects of Anxiety and Reward Sensitivity on the Interplay Between Emotion and Reward Processing
… investigated the interplay between reward and emotion processing and examines the influence of individual differences, specifically anxiety and reward sensitivity, on these cognitive processes. Using a within-subjects design, 50 university students completed three associative matching tasks: …

Prenatal Testosterone, Empathy, Emotion Recognition, and Facial Mimicry in Women
… individual differences in facial mimicry, emotion recognition, and empathy are related to prenatal testosterone (PT) exposure. Previous studies have found relationships among facial mimicry, emotion recognition, and selfreport empathy scores; further, imaging studies suggest that mimicry, …

Investigating Sex Differences in the Association Between Alexithymia and Adjustment Outcomes Among Detained Youth
Alexithymia is a form of maladaptive emotion processing whereby individuals experience low emotional awareness, or the inability to identify and communicate their emotions. Such impairment is a risk factor for difficulties, including both externalizing and internalizing behaviors. Extant research …

The Development and Validation of a Neural Model of Affective States
Emotion dysregulation plays a central role in psychopathology (B. Bradley et al., 2011) and has been linked to aberrant activation of neural circuitry involved in emotion regulation (Beauregard, Paquette, & Lévesque, 2006; Etkin & Schatzberg, 2011). In recent years, technological advances in …
