This paper use the standard three-stage misinformation paradigm to increase f-alse memories.Participants in experiment group 1 were in stage 1 first given a colour-slide presentation of two stories(events),then given an accurate account(instead of misinformation)of the events in narrations,and finally tested for their memory of the original events.In stage 2 first given the emotional stimulation,then the participants'feelings can be measured.The comparison group was given the standard misinformation tasks at the same time but no emotional stimulation.Results showed that the negative emotion group produced more false memory effects compared with the normally thought that positive emotion was beneficial to memory and negative emotion undermined cognition.In the experiment group 2 using a new paradigm——three-stage misinformation paradigm to plant“false food memories" with emotion stimulation.False memories of enjoying a certain food as a child were elicited in participants.And comparing their effects with comparison group,the positive emotion group were observed more positive attitudes when choosing bergamot.These new(false)messages were found affection to participants with personal beliefs,including the wanting for bergamot.The results showed that the implantation of"false food memory" in different emotions can had participants change nutritional choices with different willingness consequences.
