The Implicit Sequence Learning On Facial Affective Pictures

There were many researches about implicit memory,but a few researches about implicit emotion,which were always related to implicit memory,such as mood congruent effect.we speculated that implicit emotion had effect on implicit sequence learning.Previous researches proved that expression pictures could prime corresponding emotion, so we assumed that the implicit sequence learning on different expression pictures would be different.By the SRT paradigm,we used between groups design on expression picture (happy,neutral&sad) to testify our hypothesis. Experiment1predicted no implicit sequence learning because of the lacking of spatial orientation cues,such as the underline or rectangle.Experiment2testified the great importance of spatial orientation cues(the underline).Experiment3was for trying to see the implicit sequence learning on different expression pictures with spatial cues.The results shows a effect on implicit sequence learning.The implicit sequence learning on happy expression is the best,and that on another two expressions are the same. We guess that the expression pictures arouse corresponding emotion,so emotion has effect on implicit sequence learning.And we also considered implicit sequence learning had included S-S representation,as the fact that the spatial orientation cues have effect on implicit sequence learning and that the implicit sequence learning on different expression pictures are different with each other.
