Research Byte: Anxiety and cognitive performance: Attentional control theory

Very interesting article by Derakshan and Eysenk (2009) that explains/defines attentional control theory and its role in working memory and executive functions. The focus is on the influence of anxiety on attentional control, cognitive performance, and cognitive efficiency. I have made my annotated comments with value added links via the IQs Reading feature of IQs Corner blog.

Enjoy.
