Abramovich 2023 discussion of hot vs cold cognition studies in Misophonia

in a 2023 study , Abramovich et al discusses the topic of hot vs cold cognition in Misophonia research

Hot cognition

• author references (Daniels et al., 2020) as an example of a “hot” cognitive functioning study, where they found impaired stroop task performance in the presence of triggers. this source is another one the prelims reading list and the citation statement is verified (page 2)
• author cites (Silva & Sanchez, 2019) as showing impaired performance on dichotic listing tasks for Misophonics when exposed to triggers. this article was already in our database but had no existing notes. cursory review of abstract verifies the citation statement (page 2)

cold cognition

• the author cites two papers as examples of “cold” cognitive functioning in Misophonia, that being task’s without the presence of triggers, and neither found any misophonia status effects. suggesting that Trigger exposure is required for impairments to cognitive tasks.   
  • (Simner et al., 2021) was cited as showing no change/difference in performance on visual attention on embedded figures. this citation was not in our database, and i did not add it because it did not seem interesting, but a quick review of the abstract verifies this citation statement.
  • (Eijsker et al., 2019) was cited as showing no difference on a stop signal task in Misophonics when given without triggers. this source was another one on our reading list and the citation statement is verified (page 2)
