| Abstract: | The effect of irrelevant emotional and neutral stimuli on the performance of a color-naming task is examined with two groups
of subjects: pilots and bus drivers. It is found that (1) the emotional stimuli disrupt performance in both groups, (2) the
decrement in performance is relatively larger in the pilot group, and (3) the effect of the emotional stimuli appears to persist
over time. |
