Attention Bias Processing Of Emotional Information Under Different Working Memory Load Conditions For Collegestudents

The relationship between working memory and attention has always been inseparable.The study of attention bias is also a hot topic in psychology.In the previous studies,attentional bias in emotional disorder subjects has been verified,and the attention bias in normal subjects has not been consistently drawn.Among them,the number of attention resources is considered as one of the reasons that influence attentional bias.Based on previous studies,this study explored whether subjects could learn implicit learning and attentional bias in different working memory states.This study uses Woodman's "memory search" dual task paradigm to manipulate attention resource variables.When working memory tasks are small,attention resources are relatively sufficient;when memory tasks are large,memory resources are tight.The first experiment selected 35 college students as subjects,with two kinds of emotional words(positive and negative)as an implicit learning materials in the searching process.The study would found subjects groups in the attentional resources are relatively abundant and relatively insufficiency two cases,the subjects' characteristics of recessive learning materials and attention bias.The second experiment was similar in the whole process,and 35 students were still selected to participate in the experiment.On the choice of stimulus materials,we use the CAFPS(anger and pleasure)to examine the influence of emotional faces as the hidden learning materials in the search stage on the attentional bias of subjects under different memory loads.According to the experimental results,this paper draws the following conclusions: in the first experiment,the subjects did not increase with memory load and significant changes for emotional words in response;and for different types of emotional words,subjects for negative emotion words in response is relatively short.In the second experiment,the response time to emotional faces and pictures was also not affected by memory load,while for different types of emotional words,subjects responded to negative emotional faces more quickly.This indicates that there is a attention bias in the processing of negative emotional face images.Combined with two experiments,it was found that the memory load had no effect on the processing of emotional materials.And for the processing of negative emotional materials,this study suggests that there is a conclusion of attention bias in cognitive processing.
