Biased cognitive processing of cancer-related information among women with family histories of breast cancer: evidence from a cancer stroop task.

Abstract excerpt

Stimuli associated with sources of stress have been shown to interfere with cognition. The authors hypothesized that women with the stress of having a family history of breast cancer (FH+) would exhibit greater interference on a task with cancer-related stimuli than women without cancer in the family (FH-).
