信息加工阶段与情绪刺激加工

情绪刺激的特定加工路径使其能够有效捕获注意并获得加工资源,在一定程度上反映了其加工优势。然而,由于信息加工资源的有限性,由情绪信息引发的、不受自上而下认知因素影响的加工优势并非一直存在。本文根据情绪刺激在信息加工过程不同阶段的加工特点,阐述了情绪注意效应与自上而下注意效应在知觉阶段的注意选择过程中的交互影响,以及在执行控制阶段,情绪刺激加工与执行控制功能间的相互作用。

Automatic processing and controlled processing of emotional stimuli

Abstract: There are two different views about the processing of emotional stimuli, namely automatic processing and non-automated processing. Related researches embody characteristic variables of automation concept by definition and exam how these variables are affected by emotional stimuli processing to determine whether the processing of emotional stimuli is automated. This paper discusses the reason of contradiction between the two views and proposes the opinion that the processing of emotional stimuli can’t be simply classified through automated processing or non-automated processing, but a process of early automatic processing and later controlling integration. In this process, the processing of emotional stimuli is affected by emotional significance and cognitive factors due to the existence of attention effect; thus it affects the automation degree of the processing of emotional stimuli.
