This study investigates the links between memory and emotion and, more specifically, how emotions can impact the integration mechanism. The authors' hypotheses were based on a dynamic conception of memory (Versace et al., 2014; Macri et al., 2018), and stated that an emotion coming from the stimulus (within-item emotion) should enhance the integration of the stimulus features, and that an emotion coming from the context (contextual emotion) should improve integration of the item and its context. In two experiments, the participants performed an associative memory task in which they undertook three kinds of recall: item (memory for a target item), location (spatial position of a target item), and association recall (association of a target item and its location). In the first experiment, the emotion was introduced by the target stimuli (neutral or negative words), while in the second experiment, contextual emotion was introduced by means of an odorant dispenser (negative or neutral odorant) placed under the participant’s chin and only neutral words were used. In both experiments, target items were words objects or animals that were either typically associated to a sound or not typically associated to a sound). The results confirm that emotions act in different ways on the integration mechanism depending on how they are introduced to the participant: within-item emotion enhances item recall itself by strengthening the link between its components, while contextual emotion favors the integration of the item with its location.

项目内情绪与情境情绪对记忆整合的独特影响

这项研究调查了记忆和情绪之间的联系，更具体地说，是情绪如何影响整合机制。作者的假设基于动态记忆概念（Versace 等人，2014 年；Macri 等人，2018 年），并指出来自刺激的情绪（项目内情绪）应该增强刺激的整合特征，并且来自上下文的情感（上下文情感）应该改善项目与其上下文的整合。在两个实验中，参与者执行了一项联想记忆任务，他们进行了三种回忆：项目（对目标项目的记忆）、位置（目标项目的空间位置）和联想回忆（目标项目与其关联的记忆）。地点）。在第一个实验中，情绪是由目标刺激（中性或否定词）引入的，而在第二个实验中，上下文情绪是通过放置在参与者下巴下的气味分配器（否定或中性气味）引入的，并且只使用中性词。在这两个实验中，目标项目是通常与声音相关联或通常不与声音相关联的单词对象或动物。结果证实，情绪对整合机制的作用取决于它们如何被引入参与者：项目内情绪通过加强其组成部分之间的联系来增强项目回忆本身，而情境情绪则有利于项目与其自身的整合。地点。上下文情感是通过放置在参与者下巴下的气味分配器（负面或中性气味）引入的，并且只使用中性词。在这两个实验中，目标项目是通常与声音相关联或通常不与声音相关联的单词对象或动物。结果证实，情绪对整合机制的作用取决于它们如何被引入参与者：项目内情绪通过加强其组成部分之间的联系来增强项目回忆本身，而情境情绪则有利于项目与其自身的整合。地点。上下文情感是通过放置在参与者下巴下的气味分配器（负面或中性气味）引入的，并且只使用中性词。在这两个实验中，目标项目是通常与声音相关联或通常不与声音相关联的单词对象或动物。结果证实，情绪对整合机制的作用取决于它们如何被引入参与者：项目内情绪通过加强其组成部分之间的联系来增强项目回忆本身，而情境情绪则有利于项目与其自身的整合。地点。目标项目是通常与声音相关联或通常不与声音相关联的单词对象或动物）。结果证实，情绪对整合机制的作用取决于它们如何被引入参与者：项目内情绪通过加强其组成部分之间的联系来增强项目回忆本身，而情境情绪则有利于项目与其自身的整合。地点。目标项目是通常与声音相关联或通常不与声音相关联的单词对象或动物）。结果证实，情绪在整合机制上的作用方式不同，取决于它们如何被引入参与者：项目内情绪通过加强其组成部分之间的联系来增强项目回忆本身，而情境情感则有利于项目与其自身的整合。地点。
