The influence of affective state on exogenous attention to emotional distractors: behavioral and electrophysiological correlates

Abstract The interplay between exogenous attention to emotional distractors and the baseline affective state has not been well established yet. The present study aimed to explore this issue through behavioral measures and event-related potentials (ERPs). Participants (N = 30) completed a digit categ...
