Automatic processing of emotion: role in higher cognitive processes
 
Pascale GISQUET-VERRIER
(Université Paris-Sud, Orsay, FRANCE.)
There is a general agreement to consider that cognition is supported both by implicit as well as explicit processes. Nevertheless, interactions between implicit and explicit processes remain largely unknown and are probably underestimated. Over the last few years, compelling evidence indicates that emotion driven by exteroceptive stimuli has a determinant influence on higher cognitive processes and particularly on memory processes. This symposium is aimed at illustrating this statement through different approaches coming from cognitive psychology and behavioural neuroscience, in animals and in human.
