Abstract
The Emotional Stroop Effect (ESE) is the result of a greater delay in naming colors of written emotional words than colors of written neutral words, because of shifting attention to emotionally meaningful information. ESE is mainly used in psychopathology surveys, but its application is also promising for solving applied psychophysiological problems, from professional screening and neuromarketing to detecting lies and detecting threats from emotionally unstable individuals. Because the ESE is sensitive to testing conditions, various modifications to the Emotional Stroop Test (EST) have been investigated. Within the subtests, neutral and emotional (negatively coloured) words were presented. The inclusion of distractors in subtests (target words, names of plants and animals that were not required to be answered by keystrokes) complicates the task, which manifests itself in a considerable extension of the reaction time. When performing a task with significant cognitive load, the left hand responds to emotional stimuli longer than the right. The results obtained may indicate the formation of a special system for processing emotional information in the right hemisphere, while the left hemisphere focuses on the cognitive task. It is likely that in the case of increased cognitive load, the subsystems for processing emotional and cognitive information operate relatively autonomously, inter-hemispheric interaction is enhanced, and functional asymmetry is reduced. As cognitive pressure decreases, functional asymmetry is likely to increase inter-hemispheric interaction, and ESE is not detected. The obtained values of latent periods of reaction to emotionally significant and neutral stimuli can be used to develop scales and criteria for evaluating a person's emotional reactions when it is needed.
Highlights
Long-term depression of synaptic transmission was achieved by tetanic stimulation of the axon of the presynaptic cell for 5 minutes with a stimulation frequency of 5 Hz
It has been shown that the amplitude of the excitatory spontaneous postsynaptic currents (EPSCs) registered in hippocampal neurons decreased in the long-term depression of synaptic transmission
It has been found that two neurotransmitter vesicles are usually released in the control at the same time and one during the long-term depression of synaptic transmission.It means that the probability of release decreased
Summary
Long-term depression of synaptic transmission was achieved by tetanic stimulation of the axon of the presynaptic cell for 5 minutes with a stimulation frequency of 5 Hz. Емоційний ефект Струпа (ЕЕС) є результатом більшої затримки при називанні кольору, яким написані емоційні слова, ніж кольору, яким написані нейтральні слова, за рахунок переключення уваги на емоційно значущу інформацію. Отримані величини латентних періодів реакції на емоційно значущі та нейтральні подразники можуть бути використані для розробки шкал і критеріїв оцінювання емоційних реакцій людини за потреби їх виявлення.
