“…Among studies using the Stroop task with food-related cues, the majority of studies found no significant differences in AB between women with BN and healthy controls (Black, Wilson, Labouvie, & Heffernan, 1997; Davidson & Wright, 2002; Flynn & McNally, 1999; Johansson, Carlbring, Ghaderi, & Andersson, 2008; Lee, Namkoong, & Jung, 2017; Lovell, Williams, & Hill, 1997; Perpiñá, Hemsley, Treasure, & de Silva, 1993; Perpiña, Leonard, Treasure, Bond, & Banos, 1998; Ruiz, de Leon, & Diaz, 2008; Waller & Ruddock, 1995), and six studies indicated that women with BN had greater AB to food cues compared to healthy controls (Ben-Tovim & Walker, 1991; Ben-Tovim, Walker, Fok, & Yap, 1989; Cooper & Todd, 1997; Jones-Chesters, Monsell, & Cooper, 1998; Léonard, Divac, Bichindaritz, Rouer-Saporta, & Samuel-Lajeunesse, 1997; Lokken, Marx, & Ferraro, 2006). Further, all but one of the available effect sizes across both significant and non-significant findings (Black et al, 1997) indicated greater AB to food in women with BN.…”

A systematic review of attentional biases in disorders involving binge eating

Objective Attentional bias (AB) may be one mechanism contributing to the development and/or maintenance of disordered eating. AB has traditionally been measured using reaction time in response to a stimulus. Novel methods for AB measurement include eye tracking to measure visual fixation on a stimulus, and electroencephalography to measure brain activation in response to a stimulus. This systematic review summarizes, critiques, and integrates data on AB gathered using the above-mentioned methods in those with binge eating behaviors, including binge eating, loss of control eating, and bulimia nervosa. Method Literature searches on PubMed and PsycInfo were conducted using combinations of terms related to binge eating and biobehavioral AB paradigms. Studies using AB paradigms with three categories of stimuli were included: food, weight/shape, and threat. For studies reporting means and standard deviations of group bias scores, Hedges’ g effect sizes for group differences in AB were calculated. Results Fifty articles met inclusion criteria and were reviewed. Individuals who binge eat in the absence of compensatory behaviors show an increased AB to food cues, but few studies have examined such individuals’ AB toward weight/shape and threatening stimuli. Individuals with bulimia nervosa consistently show an increased AB to shape/weight cues and socially threatening stimuli, but findings for AB to food cues are mixed. Discussion While there are important research gaps, preliminary evidence suggests that the combination of AB to disorder-specific cues (i.e., food and weight/shape) and AB toward threat may be a potent contributor to binge eating. This conclusion underscores previous findings on the interaction between negative affect and AB to disorder-specific cues. Recommendations for future research are provided.

“…Several lines of evidence in non‐musical domains showed that the relevance of the task for a given subject plays a role in modulating the SCR (Dindo & Fowles, 2008; Epstein & Fenz, 1962; Fenz & Epstein, 1962; Lang et al, 1998; Ohman & Soares, 1994; Perpina, Leonard, Bond, Bond, & Banos, 1998; Stormark, Laberg, Nordby, & Hugdahl, 2000). These studies, carried out with psychiatric patients and normal volunteers, revealed that higher SCRs specific to a given object were dependent on individual experience.…”

The effect of musical experience on emotional self‐reports and psychophysiological responses to dissonance

et al. 2011

To study the influence of musical education on emotional reactions to dissonance, we examined self-reports and physiological responses to dissonant and consonant musical excerpts in listeners with low (LE: n=15) and high (HE: n=13) musical experience. The results show that dissonance induces more unpleasant feelings and stronger physiological responses in HE than in LE participants, suggesting that musical education reinforces aversion to dissonance. Skin conductance (SCR) and electromyographic (EMG) signals were analyzed according to a defense cascade model, which takes into account two successive time windows corresponding to orienting and defense responses. These analyses suggest that musical experience can influence the defense response to dissonance and demonstrate a powerful role of musical experience not only in autonomic but also in expressive responses to music.

“…Similarly, phobic subjects produce larger SC‐ORs to phobia‐relevant stimuli than to control stimuli (e.g., Wilson, 1967), even with brief stimulus presentations that preclude conscious awareness (Öhman & Soares, 1994; Öhman & Wiens, 2003). Perpina, Leonard, Treasure, Bond, and Banos (1998) reported larger SCRs to words related to food and body image among female patients with an eating disorder.…”

The skin conductance orienting response to semantic stimuli: Significance can be independent of arousal

The characteristics of stimuli that elicit skin conductance responses (SCRs) have been conceptualized in varied ways, with strong emphasis on the significance or arousing quality of stimuli. Our goal was to determine whether "significance" can be shown to have an effect on SCRs independent of "arousal," using words as stimuli. Ratings of words indicated that significance is partially independent of arousal. In Study 1, SCRs from 43 participants during presentation of 20 significant, nonarousing words with a negative valence that were either depression related or potentially self-referent and 20 nonsignificant words matched on valence and arousal showed a main effect of significance. In Study 2 (N=44), significant, nonarousing words were sampled more broadly to examine the effects of self-reference and valence. Significance, rather than just negativity or self-reference, elicited SCRs independently of arousal. SCRs to significant words may reflect cognitive and attentional processes that, in turn, might prove useful for the assessment of the cognitive aspects of anxiety.
