Three: t(11) = 1.53, p = .16, d = -0.44; Five: t(11) = 1.61, p = .14, d = 0.46].<br />

For nonanalytic recognition photos shown once were no more likely than<br />

chance to be selected [t(11) = 1.60, p = .14, d = 0.46]. However, photos shown<br />

three or five times were more likely to be selected than chance (Three: t(11) =<br />

3.38, p < .01, d = 0.97; Five: t(11) = 5.64, p < .001, d = 1.63).<br />

For analytic recognition, the 3 (emotion) x 3 (repetitions) repeated<br />

measures ANOVA found no significant effects for the main effects of emotion<br />

block and repetitions nor for the interaction between emotion<br />

block*repetitions. For nonanalytic recognition, the 3 (emotion) x 3<br />

(repetitions) repeated measures ANOVA found there was a significant effect of<br />

emotion block but not of repetitions nor of the interaction between emotion<br />

block*repetitions. Post hoc analyses for emotion block revealed that<br />

significantly more ‘old’ photos were selected from the positive than from the<br />

neutral group (q = 4.36, p < .05), and from the positive than from the negative<br />

group (q = 5.04, p < .01).<br />

Section 6.4. Discussion<br />

For analytic recognition, results were similar to those found with the<br />

shorter duration. There was still no evidence of recognition, and no effect of<br />

emotion block or number of photo repetitions. With nonanalytic recognition<br />

the expected emotional enhancement of memory that we did not find at 40<br />

msec, appeared with a photo exposure of 80 msec. There was an emotional<br />

enhancement of memory for positive over neutral and negative stimuli.<br />
