Quantifying Intermodal Distraction by Emotion During Math Performance: An Electrophysiological Approach
Emotionally engaging stimuli are powerful competitors for limited attention capacity. In the cognitive neuroscience laboratory, the presence of task-irrelevant emotionally arousing visual distractors prompts decreased performance and attenuated brain responses measured in concurrent visual tasks. Th...
