Abstract

Valence refers to the extent to which a stimulus is viewed as negative or positive. One recent model of valence, the NEVER model (Bowen et al., 2018), predicts that in general negative words will be better remembered than positive or neutral words. However, this prediction is difficult to validate for recognition tests because the literature reports inconsistent findings. Three experiments reexamined whether valence affects recognition of words by taking advantage of the recent increase in the number of high-quality norms and databases, which allow for the construct ion of three sets of stimuli that differ in valence, but are equated on numerous other dimensions known to affect memory. Experiment 1 found no difference in recognition performance between positive and negative words; Experiment 2 found no difference between positive and neutral words; and Experiment 3 found no difference between neutral and negative words. The results disconfirm a prediction of the NEVER model and suggest that previous demonstrations of an effect of valence are due to confounding other dimensions with valence.

效价不影响识别。

效价指的是刺激被视为消极或积极的程度。最近的一个效价模型，NEVER模型(Bowen et al.， 2018)预测，一般来说，消极词汇比积极词汇或中性词汇更容易被记住。然而，由于文献报告的结果不一致，这种预测很难在识别测试中得到验证。三个实验利用最近高质量规范和数据库数量的增加，重新检查了价是否影响单词的识别，这些标准和数据库允许构建三组在价上不同的刺激，但在许多已知的影响记忆的其他维度上是相等的。实验1发现，积极词与消极词的识别效果无显著差异;实验2发现积极词和中性词之间没有差异;实验3发现中性词和否定词之间没有差异。结果否定了NEVER模型的预测，并表明先前的价效应的证明是由于将其他维度与价混淆。(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA，版权所有)。

期刊介绍： The Canadian Journal of Experimental Psychology publishes original research papers that advance understanding of the field of experimental psychology, broadly considered. This includes, but is not restricted to, cognition, perception, motor performance, attention, memory, learning, language, decision making, development, comparative psychology, and neuroscience. The journal publishes - papers reporting empirical results that advance knowledge in a particular research area; - papers describing theoretical, methodological, or conceptual advances that are relevant to the interpretation of empirical evidence in the field; - brief reports (less than 2,500 words for the main text) that describe new results or analyses with clear theoretical or methodological import.
