“…It should be noted that the PHs retained the operational mechanism of CPs as a compensatory reaction. Nonetheless, it is plausible that the rigidity of aberrant information processing [49,54] (e.g., attention bias with misattributions of negative emotions and deranged early perceptual processing) [55] in actively hallucinating SPs may eventually lead to abnormal neurocognition, as expressed in poor EI performance in the PH group [56].…”

Background Most individuals with schizophrenia (SPs) experience auditory hallucinations (AH) of a negative or threat-related nature; however, the impact of AH on the early perceptual processing of emotions at the auditory cortex remains relatively unknown. In this paper, we employed an implicit emotional task to investigate the effects of AH on the early central processing of emotional prosody (within 100 milliseconds after stimulus onset) in SPs. We hypothesized that abnormalities in the emotional responses of SPs may vary with the severity of AH and may also be associated with impaired social cognition. Methods and findings A total of 63 SPs with AH of various severities and 21 age-matched control participants (CP) were recruited for this study. We assessed clinical symptoms and emotional intelligence (EI) as an index of social cognition. Auditory responses, including M50 and M100 components, to neutral and emotional prosody (happy, sad, angry, and fearful) were recorded using magneto encephalography. We then compared the groups in terms of the emotion-specific response Conclusion This study revealed that AH influence early emotional responses at the low level of auditory processing. Dysfunction in the processing of less emotionally salient stimuli (sadness) may be a trait-feature of schizophrenia. Nevertheless, a predilection toward negative emotions with high arousal in persistent AH may act as a state-feature incurring the impairment of social cognition. These findings provide insight into the neural mechanisms underlying distinct phenotypes of SPs (with or without AH).

“…This might be due to different stimuli being used in the attentional tasks (pictures) and the recall task (words). Follow‐up studies used a similar type of stimuli in attention and memory tasks and found a coherence of attention and memory biases in the same populations (Jang, Park, Lee, Cho, & Choi, 2016; Matusz, Traczyk, Sobkow, & Strelau, 2015). Indeed, Everaert, Duyck, and Koster (2014) suggested that attention and memory are not independent processes but closely interlinked.…”

Attention and memory biases for aggressive information in college students with fragile high self‐esteem

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

In this study, we examined attention and memory biases for aggressive information in two groups of college students. Individuals with fragile high self‐esteem (n = 30) and individuals with secure high self‐esteem (n = 30) first performed a dot‐probe task investigating attention bias, followed by a memory task. Incidental free recall of words presented in the memory task was then completed to assess memory bias. Results revealed that individuals with fragile high self‐esteem exhibited significant attention and memory biases for aggressive words compared with secure high self‐esteem individuals. Attention bias for aggressive words was positively correlated with memory bias in individuals with fragile high self‐esteem, but no correlation was found for individuals with secure high self‐esteem. These findings suggest that individuals with fragile high self‐esteem selectively attend to and remember aggression‐related information. They may process information in ways that are congruent with an aggression‐related schema. This study reveals the aggressive cognitive processes of individuals with fragile high self‐esteem, which may be related to aggression.

“…In Korea, various face databases comprising only of static face stimuli have been developed and used in a number of studies. For example, the Korea University Facial Expression Collection (KUFEC; Kim et al, 2011) was used to examine the facial recognition ability of clinical populations (Jung et al, 2015; Jang et al, 2016; Kim and Kim, 2016) and the differences in perceiving facial expressions in a non-clinical adult group (Kim et al, 2013). Recently, KUFEC-II, a revised version of KUFEC, has been developed to overcome the limitations of KUFEC in its shooting and selection of stimuli by adopting the Facial Action Coding System (FACS; Ekman et al, 2002) Some Korean databases, such as Extended ChaeLee (Lee et al, 2013) and the Korean Facial Expressions of Emotion (KOFEE) database (Park et al, 2011) have been used in many neuroscience studies with emphasis on the facial perception skills of clinical populations (Kim et al, 2014; Lee et al, 2015; Oh et al, 2016; Park et al, 2016).…”

Development and Validation of the Yonsei Face Database (YFace DB)

The purposes of this study were to develop the Yonsei Face Database (YFace DB), consisting of both static and dynamic face stimuli for six basic emotions (happiness, sadness, anger, surprise, fear, and disgust), and to test its validity. The database includes selected pictures (static stimuli) and film clips (dynamic stimuli) of 74 models (50% female) aged between 19 and 40. Thousand four hundred and eighty selected pictures and film clips were assessed for the accuracy, intensity, and naturalness during the validation procedure by 221 undergraduate students. The overall accuracy of the pictures was 76%. Film clips had a higher accuracy, of 83%; the highest accuracy was observed in happiness and the lowest in fear across all conditions (static with mouth open or closed, or dynamic). The accuracy was higher in film clips across all emotions but happiness and disgust, while the naturalness was higher in the pictures than in film clips except for sadness and anger. The intensity varied the most across conditions and emotions. Significant gender effects were found in perception accuracy for both the gender of models and raters. Male raters perceived surprise more accurately in static stimuli with mouth open and in dynamic stimuli while female raters perceived fear more accurately in all conditions. Moreover, sadness and anger expressed in static stimuli with mouth open and fear expressed in dynamic stimuli were perceived more accurately when models were male. Disgust expressed in static stimuli with mouth open and dynamic stimuli, and fear expressed in static stimuli with mouth closed were perceived more accurately when models were female. The YFace DB is the largest Asian face database by far and the first to include both static and dynamic facial expression stimuli, and the current study can provide researchers with a wealth of information about the validity of each stimulus through the validation procedure.

Attention and memory bias to facial emotions underlying negative symptoms of schizophrenia

Abstract: Attention bias away from emotional information relatively early in the attentional process and associated diminished positive memory may relate to pathological mechanisms for negative symptoms.
