The Influence Of Different Emotional State On Figure Reasoning:a Study From Eye Movements

Many studies have shown that the emotion impact on cognitive activity, but the relationship between emotion and figure reasoning is few both domestic and overseas. The purpose of this study is using the technique of eye movements to discuss the relationship of emotional state and figure reasoning, and the influence of emotional state and topics difficulty on figure reasoning.Select the Raven test as experimental material, use3(emotional state:positive, negative, neutral group)×2(reasoning types:simple, complex)experimental design. The emotional states as between-subjects factors, reasoning types as within-subjects factors.Conclusions are as follows:(1)The topics difficulty had a significant main effect on correct rate, reaction time, total fixation duration, fixation count, saccade count.(2)The emotional state had a significant main effect on reaction time and eye movement index,but had no main effect on correct rate.(3)The correct rate, reaction time, and eye movement index between positive and negative emotional state group had no main effect, require further discussion.
