Abstract
Previous studies have shown that threatening information is inefficiently filtered from working memory. The current study examined working memory filtering efficiency for threatening versus neutral distracter words using electroencephalography (EEG). Results indicated null main effects, but trending individual differences in attentional control in filtering threat-related, but not neutral, distracter words.
