The involvement of distinct visual channels in rapid attention towards fearful facial expressions (2005, background): “…1984; Pitkanen, & Carmichael, 1992) and thus enhance the processing of emotional stimuli, consequently leading to preferential attentional selection (Anderson & Phelps, 2001; Lang et al., 1998; Morris et al., 1998; Sugase, Yamane, Ueno, & Kawano, 1999; Vuilleumier, Armony, Driver, & Dolan, 2001).”

Increased amygdala activation to angry and contemptuous faces in generalized social phobia. (2002, background): “It has recently been shown that an intact amygdala is critical for affective modulation of recollective experiences in humans.(37) There is thus an a priori reason to expect that subjects with social phobia would differ from nonanxious comparisonsubjects inthewaytheyprocess faceswithharsh or critica”

Incidental effects of emotional valence in single word processing: An fMRI study (2005, background): “This evaluation process may occur preconsciously at an early stage of perception (Anderson and Phelps, 2001; Bargh, 1992;Windmann et al., 2002;Williamson et al., 1991).”
