In contrast to the results found with a photo exposure of 40 msec, at 80
msec, there was evidence of recognition memory for photos that had been
shown once, three or five times. Nevertheless, even though the floor effect
from Experiment 1E was removed, there remained no evidence of an emotional
enhancement of recognition memory in this task. Analysis of the Remember /
Know / Guess responses revealed that after correct recognition of an item more
‘remember’ responses were given to items which were shown with more
repetitions. There were no significant effects revealed for the Know
differences, as expected from the findings of Ochsner (2000). After correct
recognition of an item a ‘guess’ response was more likely with items which
were shown with fewer repetitions. No emotional enhancement was found for
the numbers of Remember / Know / Guess responses, Recollection nor
Familiarity. This was in contrast to the findings of Ochsner (2000) who found
that recollection was enhanced for negative and positive stimuli.
