Impact Of Explicit Embodied Operation On Implicit Working Memory

Embodied operation is the main content on the research of embodiment. Previous studies have focused on discussing the influence of the embodied operation for explicit cognition, but there is few research on the influence for implicit cognition. We are lack of attention for embody effect of implicit cognition. Implicit working memory plays an important role in cognition and decision, so it is necessary to study the influence of explicit embodied operation for the coding and extracting of the implicit working memory.Of this paper is to design the two study, and a total of eight experiments, to explore the explicit embodied operation can influence the coding and extracting of implicit working memory and generate the embody effect. We extends the cognitive research to embody effect domain of masking implicit cognition.This research is divided into two parts, one in four experiments to explore explicit embodied operation influence the implicit working memory. Among them, the explicit embodied operations are divided into: explicit emotional embodied operation and explicit directional embodied operations. It investigated the influence of the explicit directional embodied operations for the implicit emotional working memory in experiment1 and experiment 2. And it investigated the influence of the explicit emotional embodied operations for the implicit perceptual working memory in experiment 3 and experiment 4.And this study put the explicit embodied operating in different positions, respectively,before and behind target stimulation. preliminary And we explored whether there had the difference between implicit coding and extracting and extracting of working memory.The second study was the control group on the basis of the first study, and completely one-to-one correspondence with the experimental group. We just canceled the embodied operation to further confirm the results of the experimental group did from the implicit embodied operation. The results showed that:The first study was to explore explicit embodied operation influence the implicit working memory. The results showed that: explicit embodiment could influence the codingand extracting of implicit working memory, and resulting in implicit embodied effect. This in conformity with the experimental hypothesis of this article, and it is the main content of this research to explore.At the same time, it also further proved that working memory could work in the case of the unconscious.This research mainly involves two explicit embodied operations: direction of arrows and emotions. Experiment 1 and experiment 2 explored whether the explicit directional embodiment influenced the implicit emotion judgment; and experiment 3 and 4 mainly investigated whether explicit emotional embodiment influenced the implicit direction judgment. Experiment would adjustment the both positions, to explore the relationship between direction and emotion. The results show that the explicit directional embodiment could influence the implicit emotional judgment. And the explicit emotional embodiment could also affect the implicit perception judgment. It indicated that the connection between direction and emotional was bidirectional, namely the emotion embodied in the direction, and the direction embodied in the emotion.This study will adjusted position of the same embodied operation, divided into two situations: before and behind the target stimulation respectively. Presented before the target stimulation, the embodied operation influenced encoding and extracting two stages of the implicit working memory; And presented behind the target stimulation, the embodied operation influenced extracting stage of the implicit working memory. From behavioral level, there was no difference for the procession of implicit perceptual stimulation.To analyze the response time of participants in experiment 1 and 2, we obtained: on the down arrow level, the response time to judge the happy emotion was significantly below the judgment of sadness. It might be because of the negative emotions could cause more people’s attention, and takes up more attention to resources.
