{ "pk": 26355, "title": "The Effect of Emotion and Induced Arousal on Numerical Processing", "subtitle": null, "abstract": "Prominent theories suggest that time and number arerepresented by a common magnitude system. However,distinct patterns of temporal and numerical processingoccur in the presence of emotional stimuli, calling intoquestion theories of a common magnitude system, whilealso unveiling questions regarding the mechanismsunderlying these temporal and numerical biases. Wetested whether numerical processing, like temporalprocessing, may be impacted by increased arousal levels,yet have a higher threshold level in order to impactestimates. If so, then induced arousal may reverse thetypical pattern of numerical underestimation in thepresence of emotions. Adults (N = 85) participated ineither a stress-induction or a control version of the task.Then, participants completed a numerical bisection task inthe presence and absence of emotional content. Increasingarousal had no impact on numerical processing, except inthe presence of happy faces, providing further evidencefor distinct processing mechanisms.", "language": "eng", "license": { "name": "", "short_name": "", "text": null, "url": "" }, "keywords": [ { "word": "quantity processing; numerical cognition;temporal processing; emotion; stress" } ], "section": "Papers", "is_remote": true, "remote_url": "https://escholarship.org/uc/item/6wc1q8f2", "frozenauthors": [ { "first_name": "Karina", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Hamamouche", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "Boston College", "department": "" }, { "first_name": "Michelle", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Hurst", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "Boston College", "department": "" }, { "first_name": "Sara", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Cordes", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "Boston College", "department": "" } ], "date_submitted": null, "date_accepted": null, "date_published": "2016-01-01T18:00:00Z", "render_galley": null, "galleys": [ { "label": "PDF", "type": "pdf", "path": "https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/26355/galley/15991/download/" } ] }
