“…This benefit cannot be explained by a guessing bias (Experiment 3) or by priming effects (Experiments 3 and 4). The recall advantage for affect-laden material corroborates previous data obtained with longer visual exposures (Bradley & Lang, 2000;Bradley et al, 1992;Lamarche et al, 1993;Maltzman et al, 1966;Paul & Whissell, 1992). In the present circumstances, this recall advantage reinforces the idea that the emotional load facilitated token individuation (Chun, 1997).…”

“…-These ratings and classifications have been reliably associated with human performance. Among other known effects, objectively defined word emotionality affects recall in serial list (Lamarche & Campbell, 1993) and paired-associate (Howard-Voyer & Whissell, 1994) tasks. Similarly, the emotion associated with phonemes mediates the production and classification of nonsense text (Whissell, 2000).…”

Two novels were selected from two distinct periods in John Steinbeck's career, and text samples from each were pooled according to era. Using quantitative measures of text emotion, between-sample and norm-relative comparisons were computed to evaluate a priori expectations regarding differences in the use of implicit emotional information. These hypotheses reflected abstract characteristics that transcend the focus of a single novel. Analysis of word-based measures did not yield the between-sample differences expected. Rather, the hypotheses were supported by distinct patterns of phoneme distribution. The findings confirm and extend previous work by demonstrating that authors of prose manipulate the emotional quality of phonemes, and that the associated patterns can occur at a more abstract level than previously demonstrated.

“…The most important characteristics that influence these abilities are Paivio's scales of imagery and meaningfulness (Christian, Bickley, Tarka, & Clayton, 1978;Paivio, 1969Paivio, , 1976); Osgood's scales of evaluation, potency, and activity (Bradley & Baddeley, 1990;Contini & Whissell, 1992;Eysenck, 1976;Howard-Voyer & Whissell, 1994;Lamarche, Campbell, Matheson, & Whissell, 1993;Levonian, 1972;Osgood & Suci, 1955); word length (Lovatt & Avons, 2001); and frequency of use (Gregg, 1976). Even when these attributes are not part of the investigators' research object, there are at least two frequent occasions when the semantic and lexical equivalence of different word lists is essential: when using repeated measures or optimizing the sensitivity of measurements.…”
