The impact of visual working memory capacity on the filtering efficiency of emotional face distractors [PDF]

open access: yesBiological Psychology, 2018
Emotional faces can serve as distractors for visual working memory (VWM) tasks. An event-related potential called contralateral delay activity (CDA) can measure the filtering efficiency of face distractors. Previous studies have investigated the influence of VWM capacity on filtering efficiency of simple neutral distractors but not of face distractors.
