The purpose of this study was to explore whether elaborative processing is sufficient to explain enhanced memory associated with emotion. Two experiments were conducted using events depicted in slides and captions. Participants rated each slide for emotional content on a 5-point scale. Immediately after a series of slides, participants received an on-the-spot yes-no recognition memory test about the contents of the slides. Memory for the slide material was assessed in terms of central gist, general details, and peripheral information. In Experiment 1, 54 undergraduates (42 female, 12 male) watched either an emotional or a control version of the same event that differed in one critical slide. Participants who saw the emotional version, which depicted a man looking at a "nudie" magazine, participants were less able to recall the central details than those who saw a control version, a man looking at a nude in an oil painting. Recognition of central gist was very high in every condition, and there were no significant differences among conditions with respect to this variable.<BR>Experiment 2 was quite similar to Experiment 1, with 32 undergraduates (21 female, 11 male). Participants in the experimental group watched an emotional slide -a man looking at a "nudie" magazine photograph, whereas those in the control group watched a neutral slide -a man looking at the same nude, but now wearing underwear. Recognition memory for general details was poorer in the emotional version than in the neutral version. Consistent with a schema-based expectation, participants presented with the emotional slide showed a higher rate of false recognition on a face recognition test, compared to participants presented with the neutral slide. Findings suggest that elaboration is insufficient to explain the enhancing effects of emotion on memory. Results were discussed in terms of schemata in processing information.

Involuntary autobiographical memories are memories of personal experiences that occur without a conscious attempt at their retrieval. Such memories are known to occur as recurrent involuntary memories; in other words, recurrent involuntary autobiographical memories are memories that people subjectively experience repetitively. These studies aim to clarify the emotional features and functions of recurrent involuntary memories in non-clinical populations. In Study 1, 170 undergraduates were asked to recall one recurrent involuntary memory from their everyday life. In Study 2, 99 undergraduates were asked to recall one positive and one negative recurrent involuntary memory. In Study 3, 202 undergraduates were asked to recall three recurrent involuntary memories. The relationship between emotional valence and the three functions (self, social, and directive) of autobiographical memory was analyzed. The results indicated that the recurrent involuntary memories were dominated by negative emotions and functioned mainly as a guide to the present and future behavior.

This study investigated the relationship between affective properties of stimuli and their retention. Thirty sentences describing various scenes were chosen as stimuli to elicit affects which are experienced in daily life. Ninety undergraduates rated each sentence on the following eight dimensions: anxiety, hostility, boredom, liveliness, calmness, friendliness, concentration, and surprise. One week after participating in the scene rating task, participants were given an incidental free recall test, in which they were instructed to recall a word or phrase describing each scene. Results indicated that memory for affectively pleasant scenes was superior to that for unpleasant scenes. However, a discriminant analysis on the kind of emotion activated indicated that the relaxant-tensive dimension determined the retention of the stimulus sentences more than the dimension of pleasantness.

思い出そうとする意図がないにもかかわらずふと想起される自伝的記憶は不随意記憶と呼ばれている.本研究では,言語連想課題における連想の流暢さと不随意記憶の生起との関係について検討した.研究1では,197名の大学生が連想課題中に生起した不随意記憶を報告した.また,彼らは,連想語の検索が自動的であったかどうかについて評定した.その結果,連想語が自然に思い浮かんだ場合に不随意記憶が生じやすかった.研究2では,26名の大学生が大学構内を実験者とともに散歩する間に生起した不随意記憶を報告する統制されたフィールドインタビューに参加した.さらに,参加者は,実験室で言語連想課題にも取り組んだ.統制されたフィールドインタビューで収集された不随意記憶数と実験室内の連想課題において産出された連想語数との間には有意な正の相関が認められた(r=.53).これらの結果は,不随意記憶が記憶ネットワークにおける連想を基礎としており,言語連想と共通したメカニズムをもっていることを示唆している.
