Suzanne Oosterwijk University of Amsterdam Piotr Winkielman University of California, San Diego Diane Pecher Erasmus University Ren´ e Zeelenberg Erasmus University Mark Rotteveel University of Amsterdam Agneta Fischer University of Amsterdam Abstract: Mental states, such as thinking and remembering or feeling angry, happy, or dizzy, have a clear internal component. Barsalou (1999) proposes that introspective experiences are simulated when people understand concep- tual references to these mental states. However, mental states can also be described from an external perspective, in which not an inner experience, but an external expression or action may be simulated. In a paradigm based on the property verification task, we presented sentences describing mental states (i.e. emotional, visceral and cognitive states) and contrasted sentences with an internal or external focus. Results show that switching costs occur when participants shift between sentences wit...

Deze laatste verwachting is echter nooit direct getest. In het huidige onderzoek testen we beide voorspellingen met behulp van een zogenaamde vervormde zinnen taak. Nadat proefpersonen angst zinnen of neutrale zinnen hadden verwerkt kregen ze angst en neutrale plaatje aangeboden in combinatie met korte uitbarstingen van witte ruis. Zoals verwacht, vonden we belichaamde reacties, i.e. sterkere huidgeleiding reacties en meer corrugator activiteit, tijdens het verwerken van angst zinnen. Verder vonden we sterkere huidgeleiding reacties ten opzichte van angst plaatjes en sterkere schrik reflex modulatie wanneer het angst concept actief was. Ten slotte liet een mediatie analyse zien dat het versterkende effect van conceptuele kennis over angst, volledig werd gemedieerd door belichaamde reacties tijde...

Veiled emotions: The effect of decoding difficulty and intergroup anxiety on emotion perception

A Bayesian Model for Recursive Recovery of Syntactic Dependencies

Proceedings of the Annual Meeting of the Cognitive Science Society, 2005

Recent proposals have touted its biological plausibility, which raises the question to what extent it may capture the learning and use of grammar. We propose a way to structure the parsing task in order to make it amenable to local classification methods. This allows us to build a Dynamic Bayesian Network which uncovers the syntactic dependency structure of English sentences. Experiments with a small test corpus demonstrate that the model successfully learns from labeled data. We discuss what this approach may tell us about the way syntax may be encoded in the brain and about the modularity of the language faculty.

Experimentally induced awe does not affect implicit and explicit time perception

Awe is a strong and powerful positive emotion that is typically elicited in response to vast stimuli and therefore inducing awe may be optimally suited for studying the relationship between emotion and time perception. In two studies we investigated whether the experience of awe would result in an expanded perception of time. Participants watched awe-eliciting, positive and neutral videos and simultaneously conducted a temporal bisection task, in which they classified vibrotactile stimuli as short or long. As expected awe videos elicited stronger feelings of awe than positive and control videos, while they were matched with positive videos in terms of subjective valence and arousal. However across both studies we did not find consistent effects of awe on implicit and retrospective time perception. Only in the first study, stronger subjective feelings of awe were associated with an increased dilation of time perception. The current findings indicate that lab-induced awe does not affect implicit and explicit time perception and we suggest that more ecologically valid ways to induce awe may be required in future studies.

An Audience Facilitates Facial Feedback: A Social-Context Hypothesis Reconciling Original Study and Nonreplication

Psychological Reports

Nonreplications of previously undisputed phenomena tend to leave a theoretical vacuum. This theor... more Nonreplications of previously undisputed phenomena tend to leave a theoretical vacuum. This theoretical perspective seeks to fill the gap left by the failure to replicate unobtrusive facial feedback. In the emblematic original study, participants who held a pen between the teeth (i.e., requiring activity of the zygomaticus major muscle) rated cartoons more positively than participants who held the pen between the lips. We argue that the same social mechanisms (e.g., the presence of an audience) modulate facial feedback to emotion as are involved in the feed-forward shaping of facial actions by emotions. Differing social contexts could thus help explain the contrast between original findings and failures to obtain unobtrusive facial feedback. An exploratory analysis that included results only from (unobtrusive) facial-feedback studies without explicit reference to emotion in the facial manipulation provided preliminary support for this hypothesis. Studies with a social context (e.g.,...

Pulling smartphones. An app-based approach-avoidance task

Approach-avoidance motivations play an important role in a variety of health-related behaviours, ranging from addictions to eating behaviours. The classical AAT has long been a useful tool to measure as well as train these motivations. However, the hardware required to set up the AAT has so far restricted research to the laboratory. To overcome this limitation we developed a mobile version of the AAT which runs entirely on a regular smartphone. Here, we tested 64 participants with both the classical AAT and the mobile AAT. Participants approached and avoided pictures of happy and angry faces by pulling or pushing a joystick (classical AAT) or a smartphone (mobile AAT) towards or away from themselves. Reaction times and reaction forces were measured. The mobile AAT successfully detected a known approach-avoidance effect, in which participants pulled happy faces faster than angry faces, but pus...

Shared States: Using MVPA to test neural overlap between self-focused emotion imagery and other-focused emotion understanding

Subjects imagined the content of short sentences describing emotional actions, interoceptive sensations and situations (self-focused task), and processed scenes and focused on how the target person was expressing an emotion, what this person was feeling, and why this person was feeling an emotion (other-focused task). Using a linear support vector machine classifier on brain-wide multi-voxel patterns, we accurately decoded each individual class in the self-focused task. When generalizing the classifier from the self-focused task to the other-focused task, we also accurately decoded whether subjects focused on the emotional actions, interoceptive sensations and situations of others. These results show t...

Associating LIPS and SWOLLEN: delayed attentional disengagement following words in sex contexts

Although it is well established that humans show delays in disengaging their attention from conventional affective stimuli, it is unknown whether contextually acquired affective meaning similarly impacts attention. We examined attentional disengagement following pairs of neutral or slightly ambiguous words that in combination could evoke sex, violence or neutral associations. Study 1 demonstrated slower disengagement following words that conveyed sex or violence associations compared to words that conveyed neutral associations. This pattern was only present for participants who were aware of sex or violence associations. Study 2 replicated these results in a large sample, but only for sex associations. Study 3 replicated the effect while instructing participants explicitly to expect sex and violence associations. Finally, two control studies countered reasonable alternative explanations for our findings. Together, these studies show that contextually driven affective associations can arise quickly with the potential to influence attentional processes. These findings are consistent with theoretical models of emotion and language that highlight the importance of context in the generation of affective meaning.
