Information Processing, Affect and Psychopathology Edited by Nazanin Derakshan, Birkbeck University, UK and Ernst Koster, Ghent University, Belgium A Special Issue of the Journal of Cognitive Psychology
This special issue is a tribute to Michael W. Eysenck, a distinguished pioneer in the field of cognition and emotion, and the founding editor of the Journal of Cognitive Psychology. It consists of a collection of theoretical as well as empirical papers by eminent scholars who have led the field of cognition and emotion in their own right. In keeping with Mike Eysenck’s original ideas, information-processing and attentional control are dominant themes across a diversity of interesting studies and theoretical models that provide a state-of-the-art update on biological influences on cognition, cognitive influences on emotion, and personality traits influencing cognition and emotion.
