In a group of 49 young girls, the Stroop emotional task was used to study the effect of irrelevant information on attention bias and cognitive control of attention, depending on the severity of autonomic dysfunction (severe, moderate, absence). The subjects performed the task of identifying facial expressions of anger, fear and disgust, which was difficult by superimposing on the faces of words – names of emotions, congruent or incongruent to the presented facial expression. The results showed that autonomic dysfunction worsens attention control, makes it difficult to suppress irrelevant verbal information, and leads to an attention bias, quantified by the Stroop effect value. The most pronounced Stroop effect was found in the group of young girls with severe autonomic dysfunction. Among the negative emotions used in the work, disgust turned out to be the most effective for identifying the relationship between autonomic dysfunction and attention bias.

В группе из 49 девушек в экспериментальной модели эмоционального теста Струпа исследовали влияние нерелевантной информации на внимание и его контроль в зависимости от уровня сомато-вегетативных изменений (выраженные, умеренные, отсутствие). Испытуемые выполняли задачу опознания мимических выражений гнева, страха и отвращения, затрудненную наложением на изображения лиц напечатанных слов – названий эмоций, конгруэнтных или неконгруэнтных предъявляемой лицевой экспрессии. Результаты показали, что наличие вегетативной дисфункции ухудшает контроль внимания, затрудняет подавление нерелевантной задаче словесной информации, приводит к смещению внимания, количественно определяемому по величине Струп-эффекта. Струп-эффект был максимален в группе девушек с более выраженными изменениями сомато-вегетативной сферы. Среди использованных в работе негативных эмоций отвращение оказалось наиболее эффективным для анализа влияния вегетативной дисфункции на смещение внимания.
