Affective attention under cognitive load: reduced emotional biases but emergent anxiety-related costs to inhibitory control [PDF]
Trait anxiety is associated with deficits in attentional control, particularly in the ability to inhibit prepotent responses. Here, we investigated this effect while varying the level of cognitive load in a modified antisaccade task that employed ...

High working memory load leads to more Ebbinghaus illusion [PDF]
The evidence that distractor processing increases with greater load on working memory has come mainly from Stroop-type interference tasks, making it difficult to establish whether cognitive load affects distractor processing at the perceptual level or ...
