源记忆是对信息来源(例如信息获取的媒介和感觉通道)的记忆.情绪刺激是能使个体产生正性或负性情绪的刺激.已有研究所揭示的情绪刺激对源记忆的影响不尽相同.综合情绪刺激对源记忆影响的研究成果,阐述注意资源缩减理论和优先捆绑理论,并基于情绪刺激增强、减弱和不影响源记忆三种实验现象总结现有相关实验研究,指出现有研究存在的局限,并对未来研究进行展望.
Source memory refers to memory for the source of information (e.g., memory for how information is acquired or memory for the modality thorough which information is acquired). Emotional stimuli refers to those stimuli that can arouse positive or negative emotions in individuals. With regard to the effect of emotional stimuli on source memory, the research findings have been controversial. Integrating the relevant research findings, the attention narrowing theory and the priority binding theory were described, and the current experimental studies were summarized that respectively demonstrate the enhancement, reduction and null effect of emotional stimuli on source memory. Finally the limitations of the current research and the directions for future research were pointed out.
