“…The interpretation of an active withdrawal of attention is further supported by the rating data (affective judgments). Replicating previous findings, unpleasant pictures were rated as more arousing than pleasant pictures by women in the age range of the current sample (see Cuthbert et al, ; Gong & Wang, ). This effect was amplified in breast cancer survivors who rated unpleasant pictures as more (and pleasant pictures as less) arousing than age‐matched controls, a finding that has also been observed in patients with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD; Adenauer et al, ).…”

“…Unpleasant (BCS: M 5 7.17; control: M 5 6.61) and pleasant pictures (BCS: M 5 3.29; control: M 5 3.73) were rated as more arousing than neutral pictures (BCS: M 5 2.58; control: M 5 2.47; arousal: F(2, 98) 5 373.0, p < .001). Replicating previous findings with women in the age range of the current sample (Cuthbert, Bradley, Zabaldo, Martinez, & Lang, 1994;Gong & Wang, 2016), unpleasant pictures were rated as significantly more arousing than pleasant pictures, F(1, 50) 5 303.50, p < .001. These differences in the arousal ratings between unpleasant and pleasant pictures were significantly larger in the BCS group (Emotion 3 Group: F(2, 98) 5 4.37, p 5 .019).…”

Cognitive functioning and emotion processing in breast cancer survivors and controls: An ERP pilot study

Diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer is a very emotionally aversive and stressful life event, which can lead to impaired cognitive functioning and mental health. Breast cancer survivors responding with repressive emotion regulation strategies often show less adaptive coping and adverse outcomes. We investigated cognitive functioning and neural correlates of emotion processing using ERPs. Self-report measures of depression, anxiety, and fatigue, as well as hair cortisol as an index of chronic stress, were assessed. Twenty breast cancer survivors (BCS) and 31 carefully matched healthy controls participated in the study. After neuropsychological testing and subjective assessments, participants viewed 30 neutral, 30 unpleasant, and 30 pleasant pictures, and ERPs were recorded. Recognition memory was tested 1 week later. BCS reported stronger complaints about cognitive impairments and more symptoms of depression, anxiety, and fatigue. Moreover, they showed elevated hair cortisol levels. Except for verbal memory, cognitive functioning was predominantly in the normative range. Recognition memory performance was decreased in cancer survivors, especially for emotional contents. In ERPs, survivors showed smaller late positive potential amplitudes for unpleasant pictures relative to controls in a later time window, which may indicate less elaborative processing of this material. Taken together, we found cognitive impairments in BCS in verbal memory, impaired emotional picture memory accuracy, and reduced neural activity when breast cancer survivors were confronted with unpleasant materials. Further studies and larger sample sizes, however, are needed to evaluate the relationship between altered emotion processing and reduced memory in BCS in order to develop new treatment strategies.

“…As a cultural bias for the International Affective Picture System (IAPS) has been reported in Chinese participants ( Huang and Luo, 2004 ; Liu et al, 2009 ; Gong and Wang, 2016 ), the 60 pictures (20 negative, 20 neutral and 20 positive) we used in the current study were selected from the native Chinese Affective Picture System ( Chen et al, 2008 ; Li et al, 2008 ; Yuan et al, 2008 ). Normative mean valences ( SD ) (1 = very unpleasant, 9 = very pleasant) and arousal (1 = very calming, 9 = very excited) ratings were 1.89 (0.43) and 5.63 (0.16) for negative pictures, 7.03 (0.27) and 5.64 (0.25) for positive pictures and 5.38 (0.23) and 4.10 (0.20) for neutral pictures.…”

The Effects of Cognitive Reappraisal and Expressive Suppression on Memory of Emotional Pictures

2017

In the field of emotion research, the influence of emotion regulation strategies on memory with emotional materials has been widely discussed in recent years. However, existing studies have focused exclusively on regulating negative emotion but not positive emotion. Therefore, in the present study, we investigated the influence of emotion regulation strategies for positive emotion on memory. One hundred and twenty college students were selected as participants. Emotional pictures (positive, negative and neutral) were selected from Chinese Affective Picture System (CAPS) as experimental materials. We employed a mixed, 4 (emotion regulation strategies: cognitive up-regulation, cognitive down-regulation, expressive suppression, passive viewing) × 3 (emotional pictures: positive, neutral, negative) experimental design. We investigated the influences of different emotion regulation strategies on memory performance, using free recall and recognition tasks with pictures varying in emotional content. The results showed that recognition and free recall memory performance of the cognitive reappraisal groups (up-regulation and down-regulation) were both better than that of the passive viewing group for all emotional pictures. No significant differences were reported in the two kinds of memory scores between the expressive suppression and passive viewing groups. The results also showed that the memory performance with the emotional pictures differed according to the form of memory test. For the recognition test, participants performed better with positive images than with neutral images. Free recall scores with negative images were higher than those with neutral images. These results suggest that both cognitive reappraisal regulation strategies (up-regulation and down-regulation) promoted explicit memories of the emotional content of stimuli, and the form of memory test influenced performance with emotional pictures.

BackgroundVisuospatial working memory (VSWM) impairments were common in Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). However, the detailed processing characteristics when facing face stimuli has not been studied. The present study aimed to explore the deficits of face encoding and retrieving, two processing periods of VSWM, in children with ASD. Furthermore, the influence of comorbid with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) symptoms and executive function (EF) on VSWM were discussed.MethodsA sample of 98 children were analyzed in the present study including ASD- (ASD-only, n = 24), ADHD (n = 23), ASD+ (with ADHD symptoms, n = 23) and neurotypical controls (NTC, n = 28). Social Responsive Scale (SRS) and Swanson, Nolan, Pelham-IV rating scales (SNAP-IV) were applied to measure autistic and ADHD-related symptoms. We employed face encoding and retrieving task to examine the ability of VSWM as well as Wisconsin Cart Sorting Test (WCST) to assess the EF.ResultsWe found that the children with ASD- exhibited lower accuracy in both face encoding and retrieving, while subjects with ASD + showed lower accuracy in the face retrieving. No evidence implied a deficit of VSWM in ADHD group. We also found diverse indices of EF contributed to the individuals’ differences of VSWM performance in different clinical groups: categories completed (CC) predicted the accuracy of face retrieving in ASD- group; perseverative responses errors (RPE) predicted the response time (RT) of face retrieving in ADHD and ASD + group; while failure to maintain set (FMS) and RPE predicted the RT of face encoding in ASD + group.LimitationsThe sample size is still small and the sample mainly comprised of intellectually able participants. Therefore, our findings should not be overinterpreted.ConclusionOur findings indicate that comorbid with ADHD symptoms and EF may modulate the deficit of face encoding in children with ASD. The study shed lights on the transdiagnostic neurocognitive basis and re-emphasize the importance of considering ADHD-comorbid condition in ASD.Qi Chen and Zengjian Wang contributed equally to this work as the joint first authors.
