Disgust And Fear Emotion Memory Enhanced Effect In Different Attention Resource Conditons

Emotional events or stimulation compared with non emotional events(i.e., neutral event) is more easy to remember, and keep your memory for emotional events or stimulate the longer and higher accuracy, this phenomenon is called "emotional memory enhancement effect. The mainstream of the enhanced effect of emotional memory theory is that increased emotional stimuli arousal level will cause corresponding improving memory. Evidence of physiological psychology and behavior rating showed that fear is a highly aroused negative emotions, and disgust is moderate wake up negative emotions. However, studies have found no individual to fear stimulus relative to the aversive stimulus has more superiority in memories. But the previous studies on contrast enhanced effect of hate and fear memory experiments did not control the attention resource variable. The participants may pay more attention to resources to aversive stimulus processing, make the aversion increased processing, take advantage of memory.In order to verify this hypothesis, this research designed two experiments.A adopts the single factor experiments(disgust, fear, neutral) three level subjects in experimental design, a total of 30 subjects in the experiment.By learning- recognition paradigm, matching hate and fear the arousal of the picture and titer, verify the enhanced effect of emotional memory, disgust and fear and disgust stimulus relative to fear stimulus has more superiority inmemories.Found in valence and arousal and matching conditions, the subjects were memories of hate and fear pictures were significantly higher than that of neutral pictures, and to dislike the memory of the picture is better than to fear the memory of the picture.Experiment 2 used 2(note that resources: relatively loose, the lack of relative) x 2(emotional types: disgust, fear) of mixed experimental design, a total of 60 subjects to participate in the experiment.By controlling the attention resource, the method of research attention resources under the condition of different memory enhancement effect of hate and fear.Found that under the condition of the attention resource relatively loose, the participants to dislike pictures pictures have better memories than fear advantages, and in the note under the condition of relatively scarce resources, the participants to fear than hate pictures have more superiority in memories.Experimental results show that the attention resource of disgust and fear memory enhancement effect has the effect of different degree, aversion memory enhancement effect than fear memory enhancement effect more dependent on the participation of attention resources.Emotional events or stimulation compared with non emotional events(i.e., neutral event) is more easy to remember, and keep your memory for emotional events or stimulate the longer and higher accuracy, this phenomenon is called "emotional memory enhancement effect.
