“…It is therefore crucial to quickly detect approaching stimuli in order to prepare adaptive responses (Skarratt et al, 2014). Research shows that individuals’ sensory systems are especially attuned to movement perception and more specifically to approach movements (for a review, see Riskind & Rector, 2018): Approaching stimuli benefit from attentional prioritization (Judd et al, 2004) and speed up behavioral reaction times (Spaccasassi et al, 2019). These stimuli trigger a state of defensive action preparedness, eliciting eyeblink responses (Schmuckler et al, 2007) and backward head movements (King et al., 1992).…”

Abstract. The approach-aversion effect refers to a devaluation of approaching (vs. static) stimuli and is attributable to the fact that being approached is threatening. However, the explanation and the generalizability of this effect still remain unclear. To fill this gap, we provide a powerful test of the approach-aversion effect using Virtual Reality. Participants evaluated approaching and static virtual individuals for which we manipulated the threatening nature via their emotional facial expressions (Experiment 1), their group membership (Experiment 2), and the agency of their movements (Experiment 3). The results suggest a general approach-aversion effect which is attenuated when the self (vs. the target) initiates the movement. We thus bring convergent evidence that being approached is threatening.

“…In this line, Parker and Alais ( 2007 ) presented simultaneously looming and receding stimuli (expanding and contracting stimuli) using a binocular rivalry paradigm and found that looming was the dominant image compared to receding. Hence, there is considerable evidence that looming stimuli are prioritized probably due to an alerting effect that requires immediate action (Ono and Kitazawa 2010 ; Rossini 2014 ), and this effect appears to influence automatically, independent of conscious awareness (Hervais-Adelman et al 2015 ; Judd et al 2004 ; Lin et al 2009 ).…”

Exogenous Attention to Emotional Stimuli Presenting Realistic (3D) Looming Motion

Previous research shows that dynamic stimuli, on the one hand, and emotional stimuli, on the other, capture exogenous attention due to their biological relevance. Through neural (ERPs) and behavioral measures (reaction times and errors), the present study explored the combined effect of looming motion and emotional content on attentional capture. To this end, 3D-recreated static and dynamic animals assessed as emotional (positive or negative) or neutral were presented as distractors while 71 volunteers performed a line orientation task. We observed a two-phase effect: firstly (before 300 ms), early components of ERPs (P1p and N2po) showed enhanced exogenous attentional capture by looming positive distractors and static threatening animals. Thereafter, dynamic and static threatening distractors received enhanced endogenous attention as revealed by both late ERP activity (LPC) and behavioral (errors) responses. These effects are likely explained by both the emotional valence and the distance of the stimulus at each moment.
