Abstract in brief

  • The study examined how infatuation and attachment levels in romantic love influence interference control and adaptive cognitive control, finding no strong link between these variables and interference control when not actively thinking about a partner.
  • Results indicated that high attachment levels were associated with less posterror slowing, implying that attachment might protect against negative effects of errors but could also reduce some adaptive cognitive responses.
  • Overall, the findings suggest that attachment in romantic love may diminish certain types of cognitive control, which might affect how individuals handle challenges or mistakes in daily life.]

And our lab has shown e.g. that behavioral adaptation in Stroop-like tasks after a cognitive challenge is diminished in romantic partners that report strong emotional bonding to their loved ones. https://t.co/XXnAKRqWLj
