Table 5.1: Mean proportion of responses (SE) for objects and backgrounds as a
function of item type (same, similar or new) and emotion type (negative,
neutral or positive)
Item type:
Same Similar New Same Similar New
Response type: Negative objects Background (Negative)
‘Same’ .78 (.04) .34 (.04) .01 (.01) .33 (.05) .13 (02) .03 (.01)
‘Similar’ .15 (.03) .50 (.05) .17 (.04) .26 (.04) .38 (.06) .18 (.03)
‘New’ .07 (.03) .16 (.04) .81 (.04) .41 (.05) .50 (.06) .79 (.04)
Neutral objects Background (Neutral)
‘Same’ .72 (.06) .18 (.04) .01 (.01) .46 (.07) .16 (.03) .03 (.01)
‘Similar’ .16 (.03) .50 (.04) .13 (.04) .17 (.04) .31 (.05) .18 (.03)
‘New’ .13 (.03) .32 (.05) .87 (.04) .37 (.05) .53 (.05) .79 (.04)
Positive objects Background (Positive)
‘Same’ .83 (.04) .25 (.05) .02 (.01) .43 (.06) .23 (.04) .03 (.01)
‘Similar’ .10 (.03) .53 (.05) .09 (.02) .24 (.04) .33 (.05) .18 (.03)
‘New’ .06 (.03) .22 (.04) .89 (.03) .33 (.06) .44 (.06) .79 (.04)
NB. Data for new backgrounds is averaged across emotion as it was not
possible for any of these backgrounds to be associated with an emotion.
For specific recognition there was a significant main effect of scene
component (F(1,17) = 42.88, MSe = 3.75, p < .001, partial eta 2 = .72) with
greater specific recognition for the objects than backgrounds. There was no
significant main effect of emotion [F(2,34) = 2.56, MSe = 0.05, p = .09, partial
eta 2 = .13]. There was a significant interaction between emotion and scene
