A Brain Mechanism for Facilitation of Insight by Positive Affect (2009, background): “…(Rowe et al., 2007) allowing more problem elements to simultaneously influence solution efforts; and it may facilitate switching between different modes of attention (Baumann & Kuhl, 2005; Kondo et al., 2004) or switching from irrelevant to relevant solving strategies (Dreisbach & Goschke, 2004).”
The dual pathway to creativity model: Creative ideation as a function of flexibility and persistence (2010, background): “Systematic thinking requires that distracting and irrelevant thoughts are blocked out of working memory and that attention is fully focused on the task at hand (e.g., Dreisbach & Goschke, 2004; Koch, Holland, & Van Knippenberg, 2008).”
Individual Differences in Executive Functioning and Their Relationship to Emotional Processes and Responses (2015, background): “Positive emotions can enhance task switching but also increase distractibility (Dreisbach & Goschke, 2004; see also Phillips, Bull, Adams, & Fraser, 2002), depending on whether the positive affect is high versus low in approach motivation (Liu & Wang, 2014).”
Positive Affect and Flexibility: Overcoming the Precedence of Global over Local Processing of Visual Information (2005, background): “Another line of research suggests that positive affect leads to greater flexibility in cognitive processing ( Dreisbach & Goschke, 2004; Isen, 2004) as evidenced in more creative problem solving of the Duncker candle problem (cf.”
Social attitudes modulate automatic imitation (2010, background): “…which is associated with prosocial attitudes, can lead to poor performance on Stroop inhibition tasks (Phillips, Bull, Adams & Fraser, 2002), increased distractibility (Dreisbach & Goschke, 2004), and impairment of the ability to distinguish self from others (Stroessner, Mackie & Michalsen, 2005).”
Between Persistence and Flexibility: The Yin and Yang of Action Control (2015, background): “From a more functional point of view, Goschke and colleagues (Goschke, 2003; Dreisbach & Goschke, 2004) have pointed out that cognitive control often faces control dilemmas that are binary in nature, with the choice between maintenance (or persistence) and flexibility being a crucial one.”
Do Happy People Make Optimistic Investors (2015, background): “5 Mood also affects other aspects of behavior, like investment decisions (Kaplanski and Levy, 2010a), social judgments and memory in general (e.g., Ashby, Isen, and Turken, 1999; Dreisbach and Goschke, 2004), and willingness to take risks in particular (Etzioni, 1988; Hanoch, 2002; Mehra and Sah, 20”
Design for a working memory. (2009, background): “This class of tasks is interesting because they focus on a fundamental dilemma of WM, to strike the balance between holding on to representations and replacing them by new ones (Dreisbach & Goschke, 2004; Durstewitz & Seamans, 2002).”
Getting a Picture that Is Both Accurate and Stable: Situation Models and Epistemic Validation. (2008, background): “If new information constantly prompted individuals to change their worldview, they would be unable to engage in goal-directed action (Dreisbach & Goschke, 2004).”
Positive Emotions Broaden and Build (2012, positive): “…1985), flexible and inclusive (Isen & Daubman, 1984; see also Bolte, Goschke, & Kuhl, 2003; Compton, Wirtz, Pajoumand, Claus, & Heller, 2004; Dreisbach & Goschke, 2004), creative (Isen, Daubman, & Nowicki, 1987; see also Phillips, Bull, Adams, & Fraser, 2002; Rowe, Hirsh, & Anderson,…”
Improvements in self-control from financial monitoring (2007, background): “A recent series of experiments found that induced positive mood resulted in a cost in terms of increased distractibility (Dreisbach & Goschke, 2004).”
Emotion-based Dispositions to Rash Action: Positive and Negative Urgency (2008, positive): “Increased positive affect appears to interfere with one's orientation toward the pursuit of one's long-term goals, to increase one's distractibility (Dreisbach & Goschke, 2004), and to make one more optimistic about positive outcomes of a situation (Nygren, Isen, Taylor, & Dulin, 1996; Wright &…”
A systematic review of the relationship between rigidity/flexibility and transdiagnostic cognitive and behavioral processes that maintain psychopathology (2018, background): “Apart from the studies on rumination (or with clients with depression), few studies considered the impact of mood (Dreisbach & Goschke, 2004; Marien, Aarts, & Custers, 2012; Meeten & Davey, 2011).”
