Abstract:

False memory was affected by the emotion . The influence of emotion on false memory is characterized by the following features:(a).the false memory effect is larger under positive than under negative mood states.(b)negative stimuli induce more false memory relative to neutral and positive stimuli.(c).false memory is more significant when to-be-recognized items are emotionally congruent with people’s mood states. These results have important practical implications for problem solution in the area of justice and psychological counseling: (1)avoid the Mood-congruent effect of false memory.(2)choose proper way of questioning in different mood condition.(3)implant false memory to cure addiction.(4)judging whether the memory is true or not based on the emotional susceptibility. In the future, futher study should focus on the interaction between the emotion and false memory in order to improve its practical value.

摘要:

与真实记忆一样,错误记忆也会受到情绪的影响,这主要表现在以下几个方面:(1)在正性心境下,个体会有更多的错误记忆;(2)个体对负性刺激更易产生错误记忆;(3)错误记忆存在着心境一致性效应。这些研究结果在临床治疗和司法鉴定等方面给了我们重要的启示:(1)避免心境一致性效应;(2)根据心境状态选择恰当的提问方式;(3)移植负性错误记忆治疗成瘾行为;(4)根据情绪体验辨别记忆的真伪。未来的研究在深入探讨情绪影响错误记忆的理论机制的同时,可以立足于两者的交互作用进行更多应用性的研究,以扩大其现实意义。
