Wiki Version:
Studies demonstrated that threat-relevant stimuli are detected quicker than threat-irrelevant stimuli and processed automatically. However previous studies used perceptually highly different images - snakes/spiders vs mushrooms/flowers. We investigated how observers search for threat-relevant and threat-irrelevant stimuli, which are highly similar. We used images of mammals (threatening and not threatening). In Exp1/Exp2 observers searched for threat-relevant image among threat-irrelevant images and vice versa. In Exp2 observers searched for threat-relevant/threat-irrelevant image among highly dissimilar neutral images. In both experiments, threat-relevant stimuli were not found faster - threat does not capture attention. Corresponding author: Yuri A. Markov, e-mail: yuamarkov@gmail.com
