The Effect Of Different Basic Emotion On Inhibitory Control

Inhibitory control is to control the information which has nothing to do with the current task, is a kind of ability to cancel the operation or cancel the action plan. It is specific to the psychology experiment that individuals carry out the button in accordance with the experiment request that make stop button to non-target stimulation of has nothing to do with the target stimulus.Emotion is filled with every corner of life, affecting the aspects of our lives, has become a research hotspot. A lot of research data show that positive emotion can promote individual cognitive task, negative emotion can destroy the executive function, prevent cognitive tasks completed; But there is also research pointed out that under the condition of positive emotion, individual attention scope extends, which is not conducive to the follow-up task execution. And negative emotions related to threat information, in the process of human evolution, has already formed the vigilance against the negative emotions, attention will be narrowed down, it can promote the completion of tasks of subsequent instead. But these studies are only from positive emotion, negative emotion and neutral emotion to study the effect of emotion.Specific to a certain emotion, like fear, how the role of it, the present study, promotion received limits which makes the conclusions of the study area. From other clinical practical point of view, the study of specific negative emotion can help us better understand emotions, more effective to adjust mood, improve the quality of life.In this study, the continuous operation test task(AXCPT) and emotional Stroop task are regarded as the reaction of inhibitory control individual behavior and cognitive inhibitory control ability. In AXCPT task, individuals need to press "F" after” AX” trial presented, “AY”” BX”” BY” trials in accordance with the "J" key,and the “AX” trial presents a probability of 70%, the rest of the combination of 10%each.To AY reaction time as individual reactive control indicators, try to BX reaction time as an individual proactive control ability of index. In the emotional Stroop task,choose red, yellow, blue, green four Chinese characters, and each Chinese character is written by four colors, individuals need to ignore the meanings and only react to the color of the word. This study adopted the total four experiments to examine the influence of different emotions on inhibitory control, experiment 1 and experiment 3studies the influence of positive emotions, neutral, negative emotions on the behavioral inhibition control and the cognitive inhibition control. It was found that the proactive control with promoting effect on positive emotions, in reactive control,neutral emotional effect is better, and in cognitive inhibitory control tasks, so the results were found. Experiment 2 and 4 examines the effects of the sadness, anger and fear on inhibitory control. The results found that sadness, proactive control play better,reactive control suit to complete under the fear condition. They did not affect cognitive inhibitory control tasks.This study make the following conclusions through four experiments:(1) the positive emotional states suitable for proactive behavior control task, under the neutral emotional state, reactive control task is better;(2) the sadness can improve the response of individual proactive control task, fear, under the condition of reactive control plays better:(3) different mood easily affect behavioral inhibition control,impact on cognitive inhibition control more difficult.
