Recent evidence suggests that pain dampens attentional processes. However, much of this work has been based on higher-order attentional tasks that involve only spatial attention. Other aspects of the process through which pain engages and holds attention are relatively understudied, in particular, temporal attention. The present set of studies explored how naturally occurring pain (i.e. acute headache) and pain-valenced stimuli affect the ability to recall the second of two targets presented in rapid succession.

疼痛对注意力资源早期分配的破坏性影响：注意力眨眼研究

最近的证据表明，疼痛会抑制注意力过程。然而，大部分工作都是基于仅涉及空间注意力的高阶注意力任务。疼痛引起和保持注意力的过程的其他方面研究相对较少，特别是时间注意力。本组研究探讨了自然发生的疼痛（即急性头痛）和疼痛价刺激如何影响回忆快速连续出现的两个目标中的第二个的能力。
