Although it has been shown that both attention and response primarily affect the emotional devaluation of stimuli, it remains unclear whether there are interactions between attention and response controls. Specifically, it is unclear whether attention to stimuli has an influence on emotional devaluation based upon (i.e., through) the act of response inhibition. Several studies have demonstrated that stimuli previously presented with no-go cues (such as letter, digit, and colored circle) were devaluated as compared with novel stimuli or stimuli previously presented with go cues (Fenske et al., 2005; Veling et al., 2008; Buttaccio and Hahn, 2010). That is, these studies reported that response inhibition induced the emotional devaluation of unattended and task-irrelevant stimuli. However, to the best of our knowledge, few studies have directly compared the effect of response inhibition on attended (versus unattended) stimuli with respect to devaluations of emotions. In addition, in previous studies the presentation duration of the unattended stimuli was relatively long (about 1000 ms; Fenske et al., 2005; Buttaccio and Hahn, 2010). Therefore, it is possible that a participant’s attention was directed to task-irrelevant stimuli presented concurrently with no-go cues. In summary, it remains unclear whether attention facilitates emotional devaluation through response inhibition.
