More efficient rejection of happy than of angry face distractors in visual search [PDF]
Psychonomic Bulletin & Review, 2006 In the present study, we examined whether the detection advantage for negative-face targets in crowds of positive-face distractors over positive-face targets in crowds of negative faces can be explained by differentially efficient distractor rejection.

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

Development of Auditory Selective Attention: Why Children Struggle to Hear in Noisy Environments [PDF]
, 2015 Children’s hearing deteriorates markedly in the presence of unpredictable noise. To explore why, 187 school-age children (4–11 years) and 15 adults performed a tone-in-noise detection task, in which the masking noise varied randomly between every ...
