It may be that such effects still depend on the competition for processing resources that always exists in the environment (whether external or internally generated), although admittedly this assumption is difficult to quantify and test.
Interestingly, the pattern of differential network activation, perhaps reflecting a direct competition for processing resources, has been found to be predictive for variability in performance (Kelly et al. 2008).
Given that the present results support the hypothesis that threat stimuli are accorded higher priority (relative to neutral stimuli) when there is competition for processing resources, it is helpful to consider the mechanisms that may underlie such emotional influences on the AB.
In any event, for the purposes of the present model, we assume that the extent of competition between processing options (whether imposed by the task or self-generated) is a critically important factor influencing the strength of emotional processing biases in pathological worry.
The pageant's organization and foundation are separate nonprofits, with the organization overseeing the competition and the foundation processing the recipients' scholarships, according to the pageant's website.
Competition for the job of processing the sorted waste is coming not just from other waste companies but also from technology companies that think they can transform this trash into higher-value materials.

A5 EDUCATION B8 Drop in Foreign Students Cited Many of America's top research universities had steep declines in foreign student enrollment this fall, two new surveys say, and educators blamed delays in processing American visas and increased competition from overseas.
During the Olympics, all eyes will be on the competition, but those watching may be inadvertently processing adverts subliminally, according to Prof Nilli Lavie from UCL's Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience.
As we demonstrated previously, shifting the competition in favor of protection instead of processing by overexpressing Npl3 strongly inhibits cleavage/polyadenylation [12].
