An electrophysiological comparison of recollection for emotional words using an exclusion recognition paradigm

Effects of recent word exposure on emotion-word Stroop interference: An ERP study

“…ERP studies on word recognition memory indicate that presenting a word that has been studied before, affects the ERP at later latencies (N300 ms) (Rugg and Curran, 2007;Rugg et al, 1998;Van Strien et al, 2005). Moreover, the emotional valence of words has been found to interact with these word repetition effects at later latencies, indicating larger repetition effects for negative words compared to neutral and/or positive words (Dietrich et al, 2001;Inaba et al, 2005Inaba et al, , 2007, although some studies failed to find an interaction between emotional valence and repetition or found an interaction in the opposite direction (Maratos et al, 2000;Windmann and Kutas, 2001).…”

“…It could be that conscious semantic processing is needed for an interaction of ERP emotion and exposure effects at later latencies. ERP word recognition studies require the conscious processing of words and typically report the emotional modulation of ERP repetition effects (Dietrich et al, 2001;Inaba et al, 2007;Inaba et al, 2005), with negative words inducing larger parietal old/new effects than neutral words.…”

Reduced recollective memory about negative items in high trait anxiety individuals: An ERP study

“…We obtained data on high-trait anxiety individuals in the same manner used previously in Inaba et al (2007), which reported findings on individuals having average or lower-than-average trait anxiety among the same population of participants in this study. Our previous study reported on the electrophysiological measurement of recollection, known to be rarely affected by response bias, along with a behavioral measurement.…”

“…This paradigm considers estimates of recollection and familiarity by comparing the probability of "old" responses to targets that were included in one of two studied lists with that of non-targets in another studied list (Dienes et al, 1995;Hay and Jacoby, 1999). In eventrelated potential (ERP) studies, this exclusion recognition test has been reported to elicit greater positive components in late latency for correct responses to targets and non-targets than that for distracters (Dzulkifli and Wilding, 2005;Fraser et al, 2007;Friedman et al, 2005;Inaba et al, 2007;Kane et al, 2000;Johnson and Rugg, 2006;Mathewson et al, 2005;Wilding et al, 2005;Rugg, 1996, 1997a,b). This positive-going shift that dominantly appears at the leftparietal area is often interpreted as an indicator of recollection (for example, Fabiani and Donchin, 1995;Wilding and Rugg, 1997a).…”

“…Behavioral and electrophysiological responses in anxious individuals were measured during an exclusion recognition task to compare with a previous report about control participants (Inaba et al, 2007). At test, participants were asked to respond "old" when an item had been included in a target study list.…”
