The affective primacy hypothesis had been replicated in experiment 1. The transference of priming effect caused by emotional face pictures had been found in rating tasks unrelated to priming stimuli. Experiment 2 investigated how different the conscious priming effects of schizophrenics are from those of normal subjects. The results showed that the assimilation effect had been found at the condition of supraliminal priming only in case of schizophrenics. Finally, the implication of these results onto emotional processing had been discussed.
