Stimuli signaling threat are often processed especially rapidly (e.g., Fox, Russo, & Dutton, 2002).\ud Similarly, some studies have suggested that expressions of fear have a strong pull on our attention\ud because they signal threat (e.g., Phelps, Ling, & Carrasco, 2006; Shaw, Lien, Ruthruff, & Allen, in press;\ud Vuilleumier & Schwartz, 2001). These stimuli, however, were typically relevant to the task (i.e., were\ud targets). The present study questioned whether fearful facial expressions capture attention involuntarily\ud (i.e., automatically) even when they are irrelevant.\ud A cuing paradigm was used in the present study. Participants were instructed to search the target\ud display for a pre-specified target object, which was either a ...
