The Test Of Two Explanations Of Subliminal Affective Priming And Attribution In Mild Children Of Mental Retardation

Using experimental instruction to test whether there are attribution manipulations when subjects doing the experiment, the study examine two explanations of subliminal affective priming and attribution manipulations in mild children of mental retardation. The results are as follows: (l)As the feeling-as-information model holds, judgements are based on perceptible feelings, hence affective influences depend on the source to which feelings are attributed. (2)Mild children of mental retardation show the same trend with normal children that some mild children of mental retardation can correctly attribute their feelings to affective priming pictures.
