Levels of processing during non-conscious perception: a critical review of visual masking (2007, background): “Since then, these studies have been replicated with faces as well as other types of stimuli (e.g. fearful animals; see Ohman 2002 for a review).”
Automatic and controlled processes and the development of addictive behaviors in adolescents: a review and a model. (2007, background): “The role of conscious awareness in measures of appetitive motivation Until now there have been few investigations of reactions to subliminally presented alcohol- or drug-related stimuli (outside conscious awareness), as have been reported in anxiety research (e.g., Mogg and Bradley, 1998; Ohman, 200”
On the relationship between emotion and cognition (2008, background): “In other words, an individual is not necessarily conscious of a stimulus that might have triggered brain responses in an affective brain regio”
Evolutionary derived modulations of attention to two common fear stimuli: Serpents and hostile humans (2012, background): “…are similar to those of other primates, but the human face has a more complex musculature than that of other primates, with a more versatile neural innervation, allowing a more advanced communication than that of our closest primate relatives (Dimberg & Öhman 1996; Fridlund, 1994; Öhman, 2002).”
Is Emotion a Natural Kind (2002, background): “These conclusions are congruent with both the older literature on ‘affective primacy’ (Öhman, 1999, 2002; Zajonc, 1980) and with the recent mapping of multiple neural pathways to the same emotional response (LeDoux, 1996; LeDoux, 1993).”
Are you always on my mind? A review of how face perception and attention interact. (2007, background): “Interestingly, masked angry, but t happy, faces evoke conditioned autonomic responses, rhaps because threatening faces have an evolutionary bias be associated with aversive outcomes (Mineka & ¨ Ohman, 02).”
Common and distinct neural responses during direct and incidental processing of multiple facial emotions (2003, methodology): “We performed an event-related fMRI experiment in which subjects viewed morphed emotional faces displaying low or high intensities of disgust, fear, happiness, or sadness under two task conditions.”
Responding to negativity : How a risky tactic can serve a vigilant strategy (2008, background): “Previous work has demonstrated that individuals automatically orient to negative or threatening stimuli (Öhman, 2002; Smith, Cacioppo, Larsen, & Chartrand, 2003), are more affected in terms of information processing by negative than positive stimuli (Baumeister et al.”
Early social attention impairments in autism: social orienting, joint attention, and attention to distress. (2004, background): “, 1994), orienting to social stimuli, particularly emotional stimuli, has been more closely linked to the amygdala (LeDoux, 1987; Ohman, 2002).”
The Origins of 12-Month Attachment: A Microanalysis of 4-Month Mother-Infant Interaction (2010, background): “Vigilance for social signals is an important aspect of social intelligence, likely an evolutionary advantage with uncertainty or threat, and accompanied by heightened arousal (Ohman, 2002).”
