The authors would like to point out that two errors appeared in the previously published version of the manuscript. The first error pertained to the two equations which specified the formula for computing the attentional engagement and attentional disengagement bias indices, where the terms in these equations had been inverted.
The correct equation describing the calculation of the attentional engagement bias index is:
Engagement bias index = (Cue probe distal to negative image in negative/abstract image pair: RT for target probes distal to negative image minus RT for target probes proximal to negative image) minus (Cue probe distal to neutral image in neutral/abstract image pair: RT for target probes distal to neutral image minus RT for target probes proximal to neutral image).
Disengagement bias index = (Cue probe proximal to negative image in negative/abstract image pair: RT for target probe distal to negative image minus RT for target probe proximal to negative image) minus (Cue probe proximal to neutral image in neutral/abstract image pair: RT for target probe distal to neutral image minus RT for target probe proximal to neutral image).
The second error pertained to the values reported in , where data were incorrectly transposed. The corrected is as follows:

These errors have now been corrected in both the print and online versions.
