“…For high frequencies, emotional faces (i.e., positive and negative ones) were associated with a more liberal response criterion than neutral faces. This result corresponds with an emotion-induced recognition bias that is typically found with negative words but has also been reported with faces (Johansson et al, 2004; but see Windmann & Chmielewski, 2008) and positive words (Windmann & Chmielewski, 2008). For low frequencies, however, the result did not replicate.…”

“…These results suggest that the semantic cohesion explanation cannot be the whole story. Emotional stimuli indeed seem to induce an illusory feeling of familiarity that leads participants to respond Bold^ (Windmann & Chmielewski, 2008). Thus, as an ancillary research question, we tested for the emotion-induced recognition bias in our study.…”

“…Because this effect seems most pronounced with words, at least part of this effect can be attributed to a larger semantic cohesion of negative word lists, such that false recognition might result from spreading activation processes in the semantic network of negative words (see, e.g., Maratos et al, 2000). However, the recognition bias has also been found with pictures (Bowen, Spaniol, Patel, & Voss, 2016) and faces (Johansson et al, 2004, for highly intense faces; but see Windmann & Chmielewski, 2008, for an inconclusive result with faces). These results suggest that the semantic cohesion explanation cannot be the whole story.…”

Recognition memory for low- and high-frequency-filtered emotional faces: Low spatial frequencies drive emotional memory enhancement, whereas high spatial frequencies drive the emotion-induced recognition bias

This article deals with two well-documented phenomena regarding emotional stimuli: emotional memory enhancement-that is, better long-term memory for emotional than for neutral stimuli-and the emotion-induced recognition bias-that is, a more liberal response criterion for emotional than for neutral stimuli. Studies on visual emotion perception and attention suggest that emotion-related processes can be modulated by means of spatial-frequency filtering of the presented emotional stimuli. Specifically, low spatial frequencies are assumed to play a primary role for the influence of emotion on attention and judgment. Given this theoretical background, we investigated whether spatial-frequency filtering also impacts (1) the memory advantage for emotional faces and (2) the emotion-induced recognition bias, in a series of old/new recognition experiments. Participants completed incidental-learning tasks with high- (HSF) and low- (LSF) spatial-frequency-filtered emotional and neutral faces. The results of the surprise recognition tests showed a clear memory advantage for emotional stimuli. Most importantly, the emotional memory enhancement was significantly larger for face images containing only low-frequency information (LSF faces) than for HSF faces across all experiments, suggesting that LSF information plays a critical role in this effect, whereas the emotion-induced recognition bias was found only for HSF stimuli. We discuss our findings in terms of both the traditional account of different processing pathways for HSF and LSF information and a stimulus features account. The double dissociation in the results favors the latter account-that is, an explanation in terms of differences in the characteristics of HSF and LSF stimuli.

“…The authors conclude that "aversive stimulus valence had affected subjects' willingness to risk false-positive responses via automatic and unconscious influences" (p. 625). More recently, Windmann and Chmielewski (2008) found that changing the response from affirmative to negative (respond "yes" or "no" for an "old" item) sufficed to reverse the bias for detection of threat words (in a memory task). Similar results were obtained in detection of negative (and neutral) pictures (e.g., Wiens, Piera, Golkar, & Öhman, 2008) and faces (Westermann & Lincoln, 2010).…”

In the emotional Stroop effect (ESE), people are slower to name the ink color of negative, emotion-laden words than that of neutral words. Two accounts have been suggested for the ESE, relating it to either deficient attention to color or to temporary disruption of action in the face of threat. Is the ESE driven by a threat-produced change in perception, or is it a strategic bias in responding? In a pioneer import of Signal Detection Theory to this realm, threat was found to diminish the psychological distance (d') between the ink colors, but it did not impact response bias (). The results indicate that the ESE derives from a deep perceptual change engendered by the negative stimuli and not from changes in the criterion for responding. These results constrain future theorizing in the domain of emotion-produced changes in behavior, and provide some support for the threat account of attention under emotion.

“…For example, responses to 'old' stimuli in memory occur more rapidly than responses to 'new' stimuli (Perea and Rosa 2002). Similarly, humans are biased towards recognising emotionally laden words as 'old' (familiar) in comparison to neutral words (Windmann and Chmielewski 2008) while in recognition memory tasks, responses to words occur more rapidly than responses to non-words (Windmann and Kruger 1998). Collectively, this evidence suggests that the utilisation of cues forms an integral part of the process of recognising and responding accurately and efficiently to changes in the system state.…”

The role of cue utilisation and adaptive interface design in the management of skilled performance in operations control

The operational control of complex systems such as power control and air traffic control is increasingly relegated to advanced technology devices with the expectation that operations controllers will maintain oversight of system and intervene where appropriate. Moreover, the centralisation of operations control has resulted in the oversight of systems remotely, typically through a humanmachine interface. This article discusses the principles that underlie the design of interfaces for remote systems, drawing on theories of skill acquisition to address the needs of less experienced operators who are increasingly being engaged as operations controllers. Specifically, adaptive interfaces are advocated that are designed to facilitate the progression to expertise. Using cue utilisation as an underlying theoretical perspective, interfaces can be designed to extract and emphasise the relationship between features and events that eventually form the basis of the cues employed by expert practitioners.
