“…Future longitudinal studies are needed to investigate whether vigilance toward neutral faces in infants with high NA and high AC is normative, as described above, or a risk factor for anxiety problems. According to the risk potentiation model (Henderson et al, ; Henderson & Wilson, ), high NA potentiates the engagement of AC as a compensatory mechanism in at‐risk individuals over the course of development. High NA and high AC may gradually calcify affect‐biased attention (Henderson et al, ; Henderson & Wilson, ).…”

“…Currently, there are competing models examining how temperamental NA and AC may influence the development of affect‐biased attention (Henderson, Pine, & Fox, ; Henderson & Wilson, ). The top‐down model (Derryberry & Rothbart, ) proposes that greater AC facilitates disengagement from arousing stimuli, thus downregulating NA and reducing its effect on maladaptive attention bias toward these stimuli in a top‐down, goal‐directed manner (Derryberry & Reed, ; Rothbart et al, ).…”

“…If the top-down model is supported (Derryberry & Rothbart, 1997), we should find that the relation between increased age and increased threat vigilance will be strongest for infants with high NA and low AC. If the risk potentiation model is supported (Henderson et al, 2015;Henderson & Wilson, 2017), we should find that the relation between increased age and increased threat vigilance will be strongest for infants with high NA and high AC.…”

Affect‐biased attention reflects the prioritization of attention to stimuli that individuals deem to be motivationally and/or affectively salient. Normative affect‐biased attention is early‐emerging, providing an experience‐expectant function for socioemotional development. Evidence is limited regarding how reactive and regulatory aspects of temperament may shape maturational changes in affect‐biased attention that operate at the earliest stages of information processing. This study implemented a novel eye‐tracking paradigm designed to capture attention vigilance in infants. We assessed temperamental negative affect (NA) and attention control (AC) using laboratory observations and parent‐reports, respectively. Among infants (N = 161 in the final analysis) aged 4 to 24 months (Mean = 12.05, SD = 5.46; 86 males), there was a significant age effect on fixation latency to emotional versus neutral faces only in infants characterized with high NA and high AC. Specifically, in infants with these temperament traits, older infants showed shorter latency (i.e., greater vigilance) toward neutral faces, which are potentially novel and unfamiliar to infants. The age effect on vigilance toward emotional faces was not significant. The findings support the argument that the development of affect‐biased attention is associated with multiple temperament processes that potentially interact over time.

Objective Deficits in executive function (EF) are common in neuropsychiatric disorders, but the specificity of these deficits remains unclear. The aim of the current study was to elucidate the pattern of EF impairment across psychopathologies in children and adolescents. We assessed associations among components of EF with dimensions of psychopathology, including an overall psychopathology factor. Method Participants (8–21 years) were from the Philadelphia Neurodevelopmental Cohort (n=9,498). Data from a structured clinical screening interview were reduced into five dimensional domains using factor analyses: overall psychopathology, anxious-misery, fear, externalizing, and psychosis. EF components of attentional vigilance, response inhibition, conceptual flexibility, and working memory were assessed. Associations between the clinical dimensions and both general EF ability and specific EF components were examined. Results EF ability showed both common and domain-specific associations with clinical symptoms. General EF was directly associated with general psychopathology, anxious-misery, and psychosis domains, but not with the fear or externalizing domains. For the EF subcomponents, differences emerged in the magnitude and direction of association between the components and clinical domains. Poorer EF was typically associated with increased symptoms across clinical domains; however, in some instances, better EF ability was associated with greater symptom burden, particularly in the fear domain. Conclusion EF has widespread associations with psychopathology in youth. Findings reveal some overlap in the type of EF impairment across clinical phenotypes, as indicated by similar patterns of associations between some clinical symptoms and EF. However, findings also revealed domain-specific associations with EF that differed across EF components and clinical domains.
