Abstract

The results indicate that our typical student participant could recruit executive control to filter out the taskirrelevant picture prime under the standard conditions but that
this ability is fragile and can be abolished, either by the primecontingency (rare vs. frequent primes) or as a result of individual
differences in trait anxiety. The results are consistent with the
dual competition model, in that aversive stimuli interfere with
pro-active task control resulting in increased task conflict
