    Study Notes

    Emotion and Memory

    • Emotion significantly influences memory encoding and retrieval.
    • Encoding: Mood congruity effect: State at retrieval matches memory content
    • Retrieval: Mood-dependent memory: Better recall when the learner's mood at retrieval matches their mood during encoding.
    • Mood-dependent memory studies manipulate mood (e.g., music, video clips, vignettes) to examine mood effects on memory, confirming improved recall when moods during learning and retrieval match.
    • Mood-dependent memory is comparable to context-dependent memory (recalling more information if retrieval and encoding are in the same external environment, e.g., temperature) and state-dependent memory (recall enhanced when physical and mental states at encoding and retrieval are consistent, e.g., being tired or hyperactive).
    • Semantic Network Theory of Affect (Bower, 1981): Emotions are interconnected with concepts within the mind. Specific moods activate related nodes that influence memory encoding and retrieval. When learning is aligned with a particular mood, retrieval is better in that mood. Matching moods during encoding and retrieval leads to strong connections, elaborated encoding, and improved LTM.
    • Mood and Depression: Individuals can recall positive words better when happy and negative words better when sad. Emotional regulation using positive memories is not effective for depressed individuals.
    • Overgeneral Memory: Inability to recall specific memories, instead remembering vaguely. This can be a brain mechanism (functional avoidance) to prevent reliving negative memories.
    • Flashbulb Memory: Detailed memory of a surprising or consequential event like a major news event.
      • Typically of catastrophic worldwide events (e.g., COVID-19).
      • Accounts of events like Lincoln's assassination have been extensively documented, highlighting the vividness of the memory.
      • Brown and Kulik (1977): Proposed that flashbulb memories are exact copies of the event, not reconstructive.
      • Neisser and Harsch (1992): Found memories of the Challenger disaster changed significantly over time, disproving the "print now" hypothesis (exact copy) for flashbulb memories.
      • Flashbulb memory as a combined cognitive and social-emotional mechanism: Cognitive rehearsal and emotional arousal, combined with the social significance and impact of the event on the individual, creates the memory.
      • Flashbulb memories form only when the event is important to the person's group identity.
      • Schachter and Singer's Injection Experiment: Demonstrates the role of context in affecting emotion.

    Emotion and Attention

    • Attending to stimuli is necessary for information encoding.
    • Emotional content biases attentional processing.
    • Attentional bias: Selective attention to emotional stimuli presented simultaneously with neutral stimuli.
    • Interpretive bias: Tendency to interpret ambiguous stimuli negatively or threateningly.
    • Emotional Stroop Task: Participants read the colour of emotional and neutral words. Emotional words cause slower responses. High-anxiety individuals show even slower responses to emotional words compared to low-anxiety individuals.
    • Attentional Probe Task: Participants respond faster to probes presented at locations of emotional words.
    • Anxiety affects attentional bias to threatening stimuli.
    • Macleod (1986) demonstrated slower response times of anxious patients to neutral words. -High-trait anxious individuals show bias to threatening stimuli only during high-stress situations.
    • Homonym Task: High-trait anxious individuals notice threatening homophone meanings more frequently. This might be a response bias rather than interpretative bias.
    • Lexical Task: Anxiety and negative interpretations speed up the recognition of negative words.
    • Individuals with high trait anxiety show a bias towards threatening stimuli only when stressed.
    • Attentional bias in Facial Expression: Emotional Stroop Face task. Slower response times to angry faces compared to neutral faces.
    • Visual Search Tasks:
      • Difficulty affected by set size (number of distractors) and similarity between target and distractors.
      • Parallel search (all items processed simultaneously) or serial search (one item at a time). Emotional expressions may show pop-out (unconscious, automatic process).
    • Hansen and Hansen (1988): Found angry faces more easily detected amongst neutral faces.
    • Purcell et al. (1996): Could not replicate the study, suggesting confounding factors (e.g., image characteristics).

    Models of Emotion

    • Categorical vs. Dimensional approaches regarding emotion.
      • Basic Emotion approach: Emotions are discrete and universally recognised across cultures.
      • Dimensional approach: Emotions exist on a spectrum, categorised by dimensions of valence (positive/negative) and arousal (intensity).
      • A third dimension of dominance/control might be important.

    Theories of Emotion

    • James-Lange Theory: Emotions arise from physiological responses to stimuli (e.g., smiling leading to happiness).
    • Cannon-Bard Theory: Physiological change and the subjective emotional experience occur simultaneously in response to a stimulus.
    • Two-Factor Theory (Schachter & Singer): Our emotional experience is based on physiological arousal combined with cognitive interpretations of surrounding situations. Individuals interpret their physiological responses differently in different contexts, affecting emotional labelling.

    Schachter and Singer's Injection Experiment:

    • Tested the two-factor theory of emotion (physiological arousal + cognitive appraisal).
    • Participants injected with epinephrine (arousing) or placebo.
    • Informed, misinformed, and uninformed groups were created.
    • Participants exposed to a confederate displaying euphoria or anger.
    • Emotion measured through self-report and observation.
    • Findings: Uninformed/misinformed groups reported stronger emotional states (euphoria or anger) than informed groups as they attributed bodily changes to the situation.
    • Informed participants attributed arousal to the injection, thus experiencing less intense emotions.

    Debate: Does Emotion need Cognition?

    • Zajonc's Position (Emotion First): Emotions can exist independently of cognitive processes.
      • Mere exposure effect: Preference grows with familiarity.
      • Priming experiments: Subliminal presentation of stimuli can affect preferences.
    • Lazarus' Position (Cognition First): Cognitive appraisal is crucial for emotions. Appraisal is the interpretation of a situation leading to an emotion. Different appraisals lead to different intensities of the same emotion.

    Stages of Cognitive Appraisal

    • Primary Appraisal: Initial assessment of a stimulus as threatening or not to one's well-being.
    • Secondary Appraisal: Evaluation of resources to deal with the stimulus.
    • Reappraisal: Ongoing monitoring and adjustments to primary and secondary appraisals.
