Description
Summary:The effect of emotional valence and prime’s exposure length on implicit memory consolidation was examined using a modified masked perceptual priming paradigm for emotion recognition under conditions of limited awareness. Priming faces of either happiness, anger and neutral emotional expressions were displayed for different durations (17ms vs 33ms vs 83ms), followed by an implicit memory task (target’s facial emotion recall). Statistically significant differences were found in emotional valence across different exposure lengths in the perceptual processing task when compared to reaction times in the implicit memory consolidation task. Significant differences were also observed for exposure length between perceptual processing task and implicit memory consolidation task. Results showed a significant association between hit rate and emotional valence as a function of exposure length. Overall, our results suggest that emotional valence impacts on perceptual processing and implicit memory consolidation.
