Achievement emotions and academic achievement: Reciprocal relations and the moderating influence of academic buoyancy. (2020, background): “Interest and intrinsic motivation can be undermined and working memory processes and executive functions disrupted (also see Derakshan & Eysenck, 2011; Eysenck et al., 2007).”
Quiet Eye Training: Effects on Learning and Performance Under Pressure (2010, result): “This finding is in accord with recent research testing attentional control theory ( Eysenck, Derakshan, Santos, & Calvo, 2007 ), which has demonstrated that anxiety impairs visual-attentional control and acts to cut short the QE period of performers ( Behan & Wilson, 2008 ; Wilson et al, 2009 ).”
Factors Influencing the Acceptance of Self-Service Technologies (2016, background): “Attentional control theory (Eysenck et al. 2007) suggests that for less complex tasks such as SST usage, individuals’ concerns can motivate them to improve their task performance to avoid failure and negative evaluation, thereby implying a positive association between risk and SST usage.”
Prior mathematics achievement, cognitive appraisals and anxiety as predictors of Finnish students’ later mathematics performance and career orientation (2010, background): “Eysenck et al. (2007) suggested that the effect of anxiety on effectiveness might be more impressive when task demands increase because then it becomes harder to compensate for the impaired efficiency.”
The effect of cognitive load in emotional attention and trait anxiety: An eye movement study (2012, result): “Taken together, our findings support theories of trait anxiety such as Attentional Control Theory (ACT; Eysenck et al., 2007), which posits that anxiety is associated with reduced cognitive efficiency.”
Anxiety, Processing Efficiency, and Cognitive Performance New Developments from Attentional Control Theory (2009, background): “In the article by Eysenck et al. (2007), there are many lacunae in the experimental evidence, as one would expect with a new theory containing what were then a number of somewhat speculative theoretical assumptions.”
The effect of pain on cognitive function: a review of clinical and preclinical research. (2011, background): “Thus, it is possible that symptoms or pathophysiological features that are not related to pain, but which are features of these co-morbidities, may also affect the aspects of cognition highlighted above (Austin et al., 2001; Brown et al., 2002; Capuron et al., 2006; Castaneda et al., 2008; Eysenck e”
