The authors report an enhanced posterior negativity for emotionally arousing words when compared to neutral words.

Alternately, a purely linguistic activation could be hypothesized, involving the Visual Word Form Area (left fusiform gyrus of the temporal cortex) being more responsive to (equally frequent) more salient or arousing words [33], [34].

Replicating earlier work [ 20], we found that emotionally arousing words were less affected by the impairment typically associated with T1 T2 stimulus-onset asynchronies (SOAs) between 200 and 500 ms in RSVP streams.

In some reports, T2 targets that are highly salient, because they are visually dissimilar to T1 (Raymond et al., 1995) or because they depict arousing words or images, can overcome the AB (e.g., emotionally charged words; Keil and Ihssen, 2004), suggesting that stimulus properties can sometimes overcome some of the intrinsic limitations on visual attention.

The present study aimed to investigate the time course of electrocortical facilitation for affectively arousing written words during the so-called 'attentional blink' (AB) period in a rapid serial visual presentation (RSVP) task.
