ZAMORA, Eliana Vanesa; INTROZZI, Isabel; DEL VALLE, Macarena  e  RICHARD'S, María. Interference Effect in neutral and emotional contexts: a theoretical framework. Escritos de Psicología [online]. 2020, vol.13, n.1, pp.23-33.  Epub 20-Set-2021. ISSN 1989-3809.  https://dx.doi.org/10.24310/espsiescpsi.v13i1.10079.

Interference is the experimental effect caused by distracting information. It manifests as decreased performance in conditions with distracting information compared to performance in conditions without distracting information. Although many studies have investigated this effect, most of them have analysed it in neutral settings (i.e. settings without emotional salience). We review the interference effect, its temporal and formal dimensions, and settings in which it occurs (i.e. in neutral as well as emotionally charged settings), and different aspects of emotional settings that modulate the interference effect. Finally, we include different concepts that support the interference effect as the main explanatory mechanism of inhibitory control processes.

Palavras-chave : interference; inhibition; emotion; emotional stimuli.
