A Little Goes a Long Way: Low Working Memory Load Is Associated with Optimal Distractor Inhibition and Increased Vagal Control under Anxiety

摘要

FIGURE 1. Hypothesized quadratic association between WM load and inhibition under high state anxiety. Sub-axes with dotted lines reflect association between concurrent anxiety levels and inhibition. (A) Represents no load (0 digits) followed by low load (2 digits). (B) Reflects moderate load (4 digits), and (C) represents high load (6 digits).
