The Effects of Daytime Melatonin Administration on Sleep, Higher Cognitive Function, and Changes in the Brain
… on people’s sleep, ability to perform an emotional Stroop task, and underlying brain architecture. 10 healthy adults (age = 26.8 ± 6.25 years) underwent a baseline period followed by an experimental period whereby melatonin was administered at inappropriate times, with daily activity logs …

The causal role of selective information processing biases towards threat in anxiety
… anxiety was investigated by examining change in emotional vulnerability as mediated by attentional training. Training was given on a modified dot-probe detection task, where participants were trained either to attend towards threat or towards neutral stimuli. Pre and post training assessment …

Cognitive assessment of deviant sexual interest using the emotional stroop and fMRI
… of sexual material using the emotional Stroop task to determine whether it is a reliable tool to be used in the assessment of deviant sexual interest for sexual abusers. Chapter one reviews the Stroop task and provides guidance to researchers for developing Stroop studies. …

The cognitive and neural basis of suicide : investigating factors that help to identify individuals at risk
… also showed that working memory, inhibition, and emotional control were important predictors for suicidality and this was explored further in an EEG study that measured frontal asymmetry in a series of cognitive tasks. It was postulated that lateralized brain activity may account for the executive …

Right Hemisphere Theory and The Valence Theory: A Closer Look at How Gender Infleunces Emotional Processing
Gender can influence the lateralization of emotional processing. Specifically, women exhibit more bilateral activation while men are more lateralized. This study sought to investigate the influence of gender on emotional processing. The lateralized Emotional Stroop Task was used to present 50 male …

Anxiety or advantage?: detecting malingered symptoms in college students seeking academic accommodations
… symptoms. This study examined whether cognitive tasks can differentiate credible generalized anxiety from malingered anxiety among college students. Participants were classified into probable GAD, malingering anxiety, or low GA control groups using a structured diagnostic interview and …

An examination of mindfulness and cognitive interference in American veterans of the Global War on Terrorism
… and mindfulness skills, and then completed an emotional Stroop task that contained words selected to induce cognitive interference based on their combat-related nature. Consistent with past research, this study hypothesized that participants with combat-related PTSD would have longer response …

Understanding the relationship between anxiety, cognitive processing, and school attendance: a developmental perspective
… school. In addition, young people completed an emotional Stroop task to assess attentional bias associated with separation and social anxiety. Bivariate correlations revealed association between attendance and a number of behavioural symptoms, highlighting certain developmental trends. …

Biased processing of sleep-related information in children 'at risk' of insomnia: a pilot study & clinical research portfolio
… of good sleepers – completed a sleep-related Emotional Stroop task. Subsequently, they were asked to comment on the content of the Stroop words; whether or not the children reported sleep-related content was recorded. There was no evidence of attentional bias towards sleep-related stimuli in …

Cognitive Biases and Autonomic Responding in Anxiety and Depression
… biases in anxiety and depression using the emotional Stroop task, and explored both the affective space and autonomic underpinnings of these disorders. In previous studies, anxiety has been associated with both an attentional bias toward threat information and low cardiac vagal control, as …

Monoaminergic Signaling in the Human Brain: New Insights
… in awake humans while they performed behavioral tasks. In this work, we had subjects play an emotional Stroop task and identified there were differential modulation of monoamines during the presentation of valenced words in the thalamus and anterior cingulate cortex. In a separate experiment, …

Examining Differences in Executive Functioning in ADHD and Anxiety in an ODD Sample
… for an ODD treatment study completed an emotional Stroop task and their mothers completed the Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function (BRIEF; Gioia, Isquith, Guy, & Kenworthy, 2000). The present study included 49 children with ODD who had comorbid ADHD (n = 22) or comorbid AD (n = …

Neural Correlates of Suspiciousness in Anxiety and Depression During Emotional Processing
… were administered and participants performed an emotional Stroop task while EEG was recorded. Analyses addressed the three hypotheses and the following relationships were observed. (1) Suspiciousness was uniquely associated with enhanced activity over the right temporal region, which may be …

Neural Mechanisms Involved in Emotion /Attention Interactions
Although it is well-established that emotional context modulates attention and that this modulation varies across different types of clinical groups, the exact mechanisms involved remain unclear. Dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC), amygdala, dorsal (dACC), and rostral (rACC) anterior cingulate …
