(a) Sample trial in attentional-blink (AB) task. Two targets were presented among several distractors: target 2 was a positive, negative, or neutral word. It was presented after target 1 after zero (Lag 1), one (Lag 2), three (Lag 4), or six (Lag 7) distractors. At the end of each trial, participants had to report both targets. (b) Proportion of correct responses for ADRA2b deletion carriers and noncarriers as a function of the lag between the two targets and emotion category. (c) The slope for accuracy from Lag 1 to Lag 7 as a function of group and emotion category. Adapted from “Genes for emotion-enhanced remembering are linked to enhanced perceiving” by Todd et al.
