“…However, due to the high degree of experimental control, an increasing number of studies have started to use word-based stimulus materials for studying the influence of affective content on memory processes (e.g., Danion, Kauffmann-Muller, Grangé, Zimmermann, & Greth, 1995;Kuchinke et al, 2006;Maratos, Allan, & Rugg, 2000;Richardson, Strange, & Dolan, 2004;Siegle, Ingram, & Matt, 2002;Võ et al, 2008;Windmann & Kutas, 2001). Although emotional arousal mediated by verbal stimuli seems to be less pronounced, as compared with highly arousing pictorial stimulus materials (Phelps, LaBar, & Spencer, 1997), there is evidence for effects of emotional arousal in word processing as well (e.g., Hofmann, Kuchinke, Tamm, Võ, & Jacobs, 2009;Kissler, Assadollahi, & Herbert, 2006;Kissler, Herbert, Peyk, & Junghöfer, 2007;Scott, O'Donnel, Leuthold, & Sereno, 2009;Thomas & LaBar, 2005).…”

The study presented here provides researchers with a revised list of affective German words, the Berlin Affective Word List Reloaded (BAWL-R). This work is an extension of the previously published BAWL , which has enabled researchers to investigate affective word processing with highly controlled stimulus material. The lack of arousal ratings, however, necessitated a revised version of the BAWL. We therefore present the BAWL-R, which is the first list that not only contains a large set of psycholinguistic indexes known to influence word processing, but also features ratings regarding emotional arousal, in addition to emotional valence and imageability. The BAWL-R is intended to help researchers create stimulus material for a wide range of experiments dealing with the affective processing of German verbal material.

“…Prominent examples are the emotional Stroop (Dresler, Mériau, Heekeren, & van der Meer, 2009;Phaf & Kan, 2007;Thomas, Johnstone, & Gonsalvez, 2007), the recognition memory test (Grider & Malmberg, 2008;Võ et al, 2008;Zimmermann & Kelley, 2010), the lexical decision task (LDT, Kuchinke, Võ, Hofmann, & Jacobs, 2007;Schacht & Sommer, 2009;Scott, O'Donnell, Leuthold, & Sereno, 2009), naming (Estes & Adelman, 2008;Simpson, Snyder, Gusnard, & Raichle, 2001), verb generation (e.g., Simpson et al, 2001), or word-stem completion (Danion, Kauffmann-Muller, Grangé, Zimmermann, & Greth, 1995). However, because numerous variables are known to influence visual word processing (Graf, Nagler, & Jacobs, 2005), well-controlled and reliable emotion-inducing stimulus material is necessary in order to produce interpretable effects.…”

“…However, particularly for recognition memory, several studies report no beneficial effect of emotion on either recognition hit rate [18,32] or recognition accuracy (hits-false alarms, [33,40,53]). Thus, better recognition of emotional items may be due to a shift in response criterion, 'an emotion-induced recognition bias', rather than an actual superior discriminative recognition memory [8,30,53]. On the other hand, Ochsner [36] reported genuinely better discrimination particularly for unpleasant than for neutral pictures.…”

Recently studied 'old' stimuli lead to larger frontal and parietal ERP responses than 'new' stimuli. The present experiment investigated the neuromagnetic correlates (MEG) of this 'old-new' effect and its modulation by emotional stimulus content. Highly arousing pleasant, highly arousing unpleasant and un-arousing neutral photographs were presented to the participants with the instruction to memorize them. They were later re-presented together with new photographs in an old-new decision task. In line with previous ERP studies, a long-lasting old-new effect (350-700 ms) was found. Independently, an emotion effect also occurred, as reflected in a, particularly left temporal, activity increase for emotional pictures between 450 and 580 ms. Moreover, only for the pleasant pictures did the early part of the old-new effect, which is thought to reflect familiarity based recognition processes, interact with picture content: The old-new effect for pleasant pictures in frontal regions was larger than the one for neutral or unpleasant pictures between 350 and 450 ms. In parallel, subjects' responses were accelerated towards and biased in favour of classifying pleasant pictures as old. However, when false alarm rate was taken into account, there was no significant effect of emotional content on recognition accuracy. In sum, this MEG study demonstrates an effect of particularly pleasant emotional content on recognition memory which may be mediated by a familiarity based process.
