Domain-specific

• Positivity Effect
  • Two features define its mechanism rather than a mere mood change: the shift is in the relative weighting of positive versus negative, not in global affect level, and it is attenuated under cognitive load, which indicates it requires executive resources to deploy — consistent with a goal-driven, actively regulated process rather than a passive perceptual bias or an artifact of age-related amygdala decline
