Abstract

This study examined whether attention allocation to the emotional stimuli can be modulated. This study were performed an emotional picture and a neutral word were presented in succession at every trials. And secondary tone judgement task was simultaneously performed during encoding of emotional pictures and the difficulty of the task was manipulated in order to modulate the attention allocation. Recognition judgement results showed poorer memory of neutral words in emotional context than those in neutral context in the easy secondary task condition, but showed no emotional context effect in the difficult secondary task condition. LPC showed the similar pattern: lower amplitude by neutral words in the emotional context than those in the neutral context when the secondary task is easy, but no effect of emotional context when difficult. These results suggest that attention allocation to the emotional stimuli can be modulated.
