Why would Cognitive psychologists control lab studies?

A

To ignore emotional effects on cognitive tasks

Keep emotional state constant / calm unemotional state

Schacter and Singer’s Classic Study Findings:

A

Despite identical physiological response in adrenaline groups, the experience of emotion was influence by info previously given and the situation / context that the participant was in

Q

Q

Mood Induction:

A

Changing someone’s mood

25
Q

Mood congruity effect:

A

The finding that learning is often best when the material learned has the same affective value as the learners mood state

26
Q

Mood-state-dependent recall effect:

A

Recall is best when the mood state at learning / encoding is the same state at retrieval / recall

27
Q

Mood induction procedures:

A

Hypnosis
Listening to music
Reading vignettes
Gift giving

28
Q

How to measure whether mood manipulation successful?

A

Rating scale questionnaires

29
Q

Bower’s semantic network theory of affect

A

Effects of mood on cognitive processes

30
Q

Key assumptions of Bower’s semantic network theory of affect:

A

Emotions are nodes in a semantic network having connections to related ideas, physiological systems, evens and expressive patterns

31
Q

Thought congruity effect:

A

The finding that a persons thoughts, judgements, evaluations, free associations are often in line with their mood state

32
Q

Congruity effect expectations:

A

Pleasant mood- recall more pleasant / positive memories

33
Q

In the thought congruity explanation, what does mood state lead to?

A

Activation of the emotional node
Spreads activation to other associated nodes
Activation of related info increases chances of info entering consciousness

34
Q

Clark and Teasdale’s study:

A

Depression levels were severe
Fewer happier memories reported
Consistent with depression viscous cycle

35
Q

Criticism of Bower’s theory using arousal:

A

Mood changes results in physiological change

So mood congruity effect explained by arousal changes?

36
Q

Varner and Ellis studied 4 groups in free recall test:

A

Depressed mood induction
Schema induction (essay writing)
Neutral mood induction
Arousal induction

37
Q

Varner and Ellis’ results:

A

Arousal little impact on selective processing of mood related info
But cognitive activity important

38
Q

According to Bower’s network model, emotionally loaded info:

A

Is more strongly associated with its congruent emotional node

39
Q

What does bowers network model lead to:

A

Elaborative encoding of material

Superior long term memory

40
Q

Memory can show some bias for certain types of:

A

Emotional information

41
Q

Before uni can even be encoded into memory we need to:

A

Attend to the stimuli

42
Q

Attentive processes may also show:

A

Emotional bias

43
Q

Types of cognitive bias:

A

Attentional bias

Interpretative bias

44
Q

Attentional bias can be seen using the:

A

Stroop task

45
Q

Attentional bias is:

A

Selective attention to emotionally related stimuli presented at the same time as neutral ones

46
Q

Interpretative bias:

A

A tendency to interpret a situation or ambiguous stimuli in a negative way

47
Q

Different types of stroop:

A

Normal stroop

Emotional stroop

48
Q

Normal stroop:

A

Shown the names of colours in congruent or incongruent ink and asked to report colour of ink
Slower on incongruent trials

49
Q

Emotional stroop is based on:

A

Anxiety related attentional bias

50
Q

Target detection is more difficult when:

A

Features are shared with the distracters

51
Q

What did Ohman state?

A

It is evolutionary adaptive for us to detect threat quickly and automatically

52
Q

Visual threat stimuli

A

Should be detected faster than non threatening stimuli

53
Q

Attentive processing can be biased by

A

Emotional content of stimuli

54
Q

Attentive processing can be biased by emotional content of stimuli, this has been seen in:

A

Emotional stroop and Dotprobe paradigms

55
Q

Some groups of ‘emotional’ individuals show

A

Interpretive biases

56
Q

Search tasks allow us to

A

Examine efficiency of detection of emotional information

57
Q

According to Bower activation of the happiness node does what to the activation of the sadness node?

A

Inhibits

58
Q

The eysenck, Macleod and Matthews homonym task was used to:

A

Examine interpretative bias in anxious individuals
