采用威胁信息(蛇类)和非威胁信息(龟类)为实验材料,以词汇和图片两种方式呈现,来探讨是否存在对威胁信息的记忆优势,然后添加威胁和非威胁场景以探究不同的场景启动对威胁信息记忆的影响。结果发现:(1)对威胁信息存在记忆优势,对图片信息的记忆优于词汇信息;(2)在威胁场景下,对威胁词汇和图片信息存在记忆优势,在非威胁场景下,对威胁图片信息存在记忆优势,而对威胁和非威胁词汇的记忆无差异。
採用威脅信息(蛇類)和非威脅信息(龜類)為實驗材料,以詞彙和圖片兩種方式呈現,來探討是否存在對威脅信息的記憶優勢,然後添加威脅和非威脅場景以探究不同的場景啟動對威脅信息記憶的影響。結果髮現:(1)對威脅信息存在記憶優勢,對圖片信息的記憶優于詞彙信息;(2)在威脅場景下,對威脅詞彙和圖片信息存在記憶優勢,在非威脅場景下,對威脅圖片信息存在記憶優勢,而對威脅和非威脅詞彙的記憶無差異。

The aim of the present study is to examine whether individuals have the memory advantage for threatening information in the natural environment. To further explore the psychological mechanism of this memory advantage effect, we created threatening and non-threatening scenarios and investigated whether the memory advantage for threatening information still existed. Threatening information (snake) and non-threatening information (turtle) in the natural environment were selected to be the research materials, which included words and pictures respectively. Specifically, 36 representations of snakes and turtles with middle-level memory difficulties were selected respectively. Because of the fear emotion aroused by real snake pictures may directly exert effects on the memory, 36 cartoon images of snakes and turtles were selected respectively with the medium degree of fear and novelty. Different scenarios were added in Experiment 2 with different instructions. Threatening scenario instruction was like this: "please imagine you are trapped in a prairie in ancient times, and there are all kinds of animals roaming there, with beasts howling and fighting voices in the distance. Some fierce animals are likely to appear around you at any time." The instruction of non-threatening scenario was: "please imagine you are walking in the zoo now, you can see animals in cages friendly greeting you, beasts are not as aggressive as those in wild areas, and some well-trained fierce animals are showing skill performance comically." The results demonstrate that: (1) the recognition memory of snakes which represent threatening information is significantly superior to that of the turtles which represent non-threatening information, no matter the experimental material presented in vocabulary or image. The result suggests that there is a significant memory advantage for both threatening vocabulary and image information in the natural environment; (2) there is a significant difference in recognition accuracy between threatening vocabulary and threatening images information, suggesting that memory of image information performs better than that of the vocabulary information; (3) in the threatening scenario and the non-threatening scenario in Experiment 2, the recognition accuracy of threatening information is significantly higher than that of the non-threatening information as in Experiment 1. But the recognition accuracy is not significantly different between the threatening scenario and the non-threatening scenario in the natural environment; (4) specifically, in the threatening scenario, the recognition accuracy of threatening words and pictures are both significantly higher than that of the non- threatening turtle words and pictures. In the non-threatening scenario, the recognition accuracy of threatening pictures is significantly higher than that of the non-threatening turtle pictures. However, the recognition accuracy is not significantly different between threatening snake words and the non- threatening turtle words. The conclusions are as follows: (1) the memory recognition advantage exists in the vocabulary and pictures with threatening information in the natural environment. And the memory of the pictures is better than that of the vocabulary; (2) the memory advantage of threatening pictorial information still exists in the threatening and non-threatening scenarios. In the non-threatening scenario, the memory difference between the threatening and non-threatening vocabulary information is not significant.
