“…Contrary to our hypothesis, response bias for negative stimuli was not modulated by VVG exposure. Similar to previous findings, (Dougal & Rotello, 2007;Kapucu et al, 2008;Spaniol et al, 2008;Windmann & Krüger, 1998;Windmann & Kutas, 2001), however, participants showed a liberal response bias for emotional (negative and positive) stimuli, but not for neutral stimuli. It is not clear why emotional information is more readily endorsed as 'old' than neutral information.…”

“…Additionally, ample evidence suggests that response bias during memory retrieval is modulated by emotion, with individuals more likely to classify emotional information as familiar, compared to neutral information (e.g. Dougal & Rotello, 2007;Kapucu, Rotello, Ready, & Seidl, 2008;Spaniol, Voss, & Grady, (2008); Windmann & Krüger, 1998;Windmann & Kutas, 2001). If VVG exposure indeed causes desensitization to negative stimuli, the prediction follows that it should reduce memory and induce a more conservative response bias for these stimuli.…”

“…This was of interest because prior research has shown both of these processes to be sensitive to emotion (e.g. Dougal & Rotello, 2007;Kapucu et al, 2008;Spaniol et al, 2008).…”

Although acute effects of violent video game (VVG) exposure on affect and behaviour have been studied extensively, less is known about VVG effects on cognition. The present study examined whether chronic exposure to VVGs was associated with alterations in emotional long-term memory. Participants completed an old-new recognition task with 300 pictures of scenes ranging in emotion (negative, neutral and positive). We analysed accuracy and reaction time data using diffusion modelling to test a desensitization hypothesis. According to this hypothesis, VVG players would show reduced memory or a less liberal response bias for negative stimuli, compared with nonplayers. Contrary to the desensitization hypothesis, VVG exposure was not associated with differences in memory or response bias. This result suggests that, unlike other cognitive domains, long-term memory may be robust to deleterious influences of chronic VVG exposure.

“…Macmillan et al concluded that quantitative models are necessary to interpret RK data (see Dougal & Rotello, 2007;Kapucu, Rotello, Ready, & Seidel, 2008;Rotello, Macmillan, Hicks, & Hautus, 2006;Starns & Ratcliff, 2008, for applications of this approach to single item recognition).…”

a b s t r a c tWe used quantitative modeling of remember-know responses (Tulving, 1985) to investigate the processes underlying recognition memory for faces in the choice-similarity paradigm (Tulving, 1981). Similarity between recognition test choices produces opposite effects on confidence and accuracy in this paradigm. We extended existing models of this double dissociation to account for remember-know responses, by adding a variable recollection criterion to Clark's (1997) single-process model and by adding graded recollection strength to Dobbins, Kroll, and Liu's (1998) dual-process model. Both models provided an accurate and comprehensive account of objective and subjective judgments in an experiment we conducted on memory for faces, and of data from Dobbins et al. on memory for natural scenes. Model selection techniques were used to refine these accounts, providing insight into the psychological processes proposed by each approach and into their implications for the relationship between recollection and confidence in two-alternative forced choice recognition.

“…For example, studies have shown differences in memory between pictures vs. words, words vs. non-words, emotional vs. neutral items, high vs. low arousal items, etc. (e.g., Bradley, Greenwald, Petry, & Lang, 1992;Gillund & Shiffrin, 1981;Greene, 2004;Grider & Malmberg, 2008;Kapucu, Rotello, Ready, & Seidl, 2008;Nelson, Reed, & McEvoy, 1977;Onyper, Zhang, & Howard, 2010;Paivio, 1971;Snodgrass & McClure, 1975). Our goal here is to evaluate item properties (i.e., word frequency and context variability) that play a role in the successful generation of a target word and the effectiveness of a cue word.…”
