Explain The Effect Of Bias Training And Its Effect On Pre - Training Memory

Cognitive has important meaning to emotion of human beings. Based on the cognitive theories of emotion, how to explain the situation determines people’s emotion in the scene. Thus, cognition is one important way of emotion regulation. How to view ambiguous events? It depends on the tendency how a person interpret positive and negative information. Since cognition plays such an important role in people’s mood, can we change the cognition by using effective methods? Little research about this aspect in the domestic, study abroad is relatively more, and most of them adopt the method of Cognitive Bias Modification, CBM for short. Cognitive biases include attention bias, interpretation biase and memory bias, this research focuses on interpretation biase and memory bias. We translate foreign experimental materials and do the adjustment, we use word choose instead of word completion, based on the theory and practice abroad, through two research environment to explore the effectiveness of CBM in China and explain whether the of interpretation bias modification affect memory.Research1using traditional CBM-I training, the participants through the10block130scenarios training, there are two options at the end of each scenario, the participants select the logical (in fact is consistent with training group titer) options from the two options to complete the scenario, and then complete the20new scenarios, after the20new scenarios, the subjects will see every new scenario’s title instead of the original scenario corresponds four statements (two other goals, two other foil),subjects make similarity evaluation. We collect the reaction time data of the participants in the training process data and similarity evaluation scores.The result suggest:In different training group, participants react to positive probe scenarios and negative probe scenarios, difference is significantly, F (1,26)=11.311, p<0.01, eta2=0.303, combined with the data in table1, positive training group’s reaction time of the positive probe scenarios significantly shorter than reaction time of the negative probe scenarios, negative training group’s reaction time of the negative probe scenarios significantly shorter than reaction time of the positive probe scenarios. In the second part of the training, for negative exploration situation, negative training group’s reaction time significantly shorter than the positive training group’s reaction time, t (52)=3.090, p<0.01, MPN=0.01, MNN=2775.61; For active exploration situation, there was no significant difference between two training reaction time, t (52)=0.278, p=0.782).On similarity evaluation, for the target statements, different training group’s evaluation to different valence of statement is significant differences, for positive target statements, positive training group’s rating is significantly higher than negative group’s rating, t(42)=-2.417,p<0.05. MPPT=2.519,MPNT=2.217; for negative target statements, negative training group’s score were significantly higher than that of positive training group, t(42)=2.274,p<0.05,MNPT=2.215,MNNT=2.508. For positive foi statements, positive training group’s rating is significantly higher than negative group’s rating, t(42)=-2.370,p<0.05,MPPF=2.087,MPNF=1.635; for negative foil statements, two training score had no significant difference.In research2, participants remember16uncompleted scenarios, these scenarios’s titles are presented on the computer screen.And the content are presented by the earphone. After hearing, participants create the end and then enter into CBM-I (study1),after training, subjects recall the complete scenario, and record the retell themselves. The participants’recording are rated by two raters, evaluation results suggest:positive and negative training group’s before and after training record score had significant difference, t(26)=-2.805,p<0.01,MPpre=0.493,MNpre=0.356; The two groups’recording after training also have significant differences, t(26)=-4.389,p<0.001,MPafter=0.508,MNafter=0.230. There are significant changes in negative training group on the recordings before and after the training, t(26)=2.470,p<0.05. The memories of negative scenarios before and after training in negative training group have more negative change; positive training group before and after the training memories’difference is not significant.If we can change the cognition by training, maybe this will provide new ideas and methods to emotional and psychological counseling.
