“…The results of Briesemeister et al (2014) already supported this hypothesis: An early N1 effect, discussed as indexing early attentional resource allocation to affectively conditioned word forms (Bayer et al, 2012), was found to separate high-from low-happiness words, whereas positivity affected the N400 and the LPC. Both of the latter components are associated with explicit affective evaluation.…”

The hierarchical emotion model proposed by Panksepp (1998) predicts that affective processing will rely on three functionally and neuroanatomically distinct levels, engaging subcortical networks (primary level), the limbic system (secondary level), and the neocortex (tertiary level). In the present fMRI study, we manipulated happiness and positivity, which are assumed to rely on secondary-and tertiary-level processes, respectively, to test these assumptions in a word recognition task. In accordance with the model predictions, evidence for a double dissociation was found in the brain activation patterns: Secondary-level processes engaged parts of the limbic system-specifically, the right hemispheric amygdala. Tertiary-level processes, in contrast, relied predominantly on frontal neocortical structures such as the left inferior frontal and medial frontal gyri. These results are interpreted as support for Panksepp's (1998) model and as an indicator of a semantic foundation of affective dimensions.

“…However, note that this overall U-shaped distribution involves a particularly strong negative linear correlation of arousal with valence within the domain of negative words, which sometimes leads to an overall negative linear correlation (e.g., Citron et al, 2014b;Schmidtke et al, 2014;Võ et al, 2009). Highly arousing words are processed faster and more accurately and elicit stronger neural responses than nonarousing words, when valence is kept constant (Bayer, Sommer, & Schacht, 2012;Hofmann, Kuchinke, Tamm, Võ, & Jacobs, 2009;Recio et al, 2014). Nevertheless, emotional valence seems to be a stronger predictor of response speed and accuracy than arousal (Estes & Adelman, 2008;Kousta et al, 2009).…”

When emotions are expressed figuratively: Psycholinguistic and Affective Norms of 619 Idioms for German (PANIG)

Despite flourishing research on the relationship between emotion and literal language, and despite the pervasiveness of figurative expressions in communication, the role of figurative language in conveying affect has been underinvestigated. This study provides affective and psycholinguistic norms for 619 German idiomatic expressions and explores the relationships between affective and psycholinguistic idiom properties. German native speakers rated each idiom for emotional valence, arousal, familiarity, semantic transparency, figurativeness, and concreteness. They also described the figurative meaning of each idiom and rated how confident they were about the attributed meaning. The results showed that idioms rated high in valence were also rated high in arousal. Negative idioms were rated as more arousing than positive ones, in line with results from single words. Furthermore, arousal correlated positively with figurativeness (supporting the idea that figurative expressions are more emotionally engaging than literal expressions) and with concreteness and semantic transparency. This suggests that idioms may convey a more direct reference to sensory representations, mediated by the meanings of their constituting words. Arousal correlated positively with familiarity. In addition, positive idioms were rated as more familiar than negative idioms. Finally, idioms without a literal counterpart were rated as more emotionally valenced and arousing than idioms with a literal counterpart. Although the meanings of ambiguous idioms were less correctly defined than those of unambiguous idioms, ambiguous idioms were rated as more concrete than unambiguous ones. We also discuss the relationships between the various psycholinguistic variables characterizing idioms, with reference to the literature on idiom structure and processing.

“…There is evidence that emotional content influences ERPs to words during early time windows such as the P1 time window (80-120 ms; Bayer, Sommer, & Schacht, 2012;Bernat, Bunce, & Shevrin, 2001;Junghöfer, Bradley, Elbert, & Lang, 2001;Li, Zinbarg, & Paller, 2007;Scott, O'Donnell, Leuthold, & Sereno, 2009), and that involuntary attention allocation in the visual cortex is not limited to pictorial stimuli, but can occur for word stimuli which have only arbitrary relationships between their visual features and corresponding meaning (Bayer, et al, 2012;Ortigue et al, 2004;Rabovsky, Sommer, & Abdel Rahman, 2011). …”

Attentional biases to threat are considered central to anxiety disorders, however physiological evidence of their nature and time course is lacking. Event-related potentials (ERPs) characterized sensory and cognitive changes while 20 outpatients with panic disorder (PD), 20 with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and 20 healthy controls (HCs) responded to the color (emotional Stroop task) or meaning of threatening and neutral stimuli. ERPs indicated larger P1 amplitude and longer N1 latency in OCD, and shorter P1 latency in PD, to threatening (versus neutral) stimuli, across instructions to attend to, or ignore, threat content. Emotional Stroop interference correlated with phobic anxiety and was significant in PD. Participants with emotional Stroop interference had augmented P1 and P3 amplitudes to threat (versus neutral) stimuli when color-naming. The results suggest early attentional biases to threat in both disorders, with disorder-specific characteristics. ERPs supported preferential early attentional capture and cognitive elaboration hypotheses of emotional Stroop interference.
