Figure 1. Components of the Emotional Interrupt Task.

Figure 1

Emotional Interrupt Task procedures. Each row represents a trial type. Each trial consisted of 4 serially presented events: i) a fixation cross (550ms); ii) a negative, neutral, positive or blank image (200ms); iii) a circle, square, or fixation cross (150ms); iv) the same image that preceded the shape or cross (400ms); v) a blank screen for (1200ms). Participants responded during either the second picture or blank and reaction times were calculated from the onset of the shape stimulus. The hemodynamic response was modeled and averaged for the duration of each trial. The trials displayed correspond to: a) a negative response-with-distracter trial; b) a positive image-only trial; c) a response-only trial.
