Abstract

It is found that previously ignored stimuli are devaluated than previously selected or novel stimuli in social-emotional evaluation task (Raymond, Fenske, & Tavassoli, 2003). We extended the previous research to the selection on the working memory representations. Participants were to remember one of two faces according to a cue. The cue was presented before the faces (pre-cue condition) or after the faces (post-cue condition). The task was to score the reliability of a selected face, an unselected face, or a novel face on a five point scale while maintaining the cued face. The selected faces were evaluated more trustworthy than the unselected or novel faces significantly under both the pre- and post-cue conditions. In addition, the reliability of unselected faces did not appear less trustworthy than that of the novel faces. These results suggest that information in the working memory is biased positively on the social-emotional judgments.
