通过三个实验考察了情绪内容对逻辑推理的影响。参与者完成了一项条件推理任务(如果是p，那么是q)，内容是情绪化的和中性的。实验一使用已有的情绪词和中性词。在实验1B和实验2中，实验1B和实验2使用经典的条件反射，对最初的中性词的情绪值进行了实验操作。在所有实验中，与中性刺激相比，参与者在对情绪刺激进行推理时提供规范正确答案的可能性较小。无论是消极内容(实验1B和实验2)还是积极内容(实验2)都是如此。参与者对条件陈述的解释也被测量(感知的充分性、必然性、因果关系和似是而非)。结果表明，解释与推理之间存在着预期的关系。然而，情绪并不影响口译。情绪化和中性的条件陈述也有类似的解释。根据当前的情感和推理模型对结果进行了讨论。
The effect of emotional content on logical reasoning is explored in three experiments. The participants completed a conditional reasoning task (If p, then q) with emotional and neutral contents. In Experiment 1, existing emotional and neutral words were used. The emotional value of initially neutral words was experimentally manipulated in Experiments 1B and 2, using classical conditioning. In all experiments, participants were less likely to provide normatively correct answers when reasoning about emotional stimuli, compared with neutral stimuli. This was true for both negative (Experiments 1B & 2) and positive contents (Experiment 2). The participants' interpretations of the conditional statements were also measured (perceived sufficiency, necessity, causality, and plausibility). The results showed the expected relationship between interpretation and reasoning. However, emotion did not affect interpretation. Emotional and neutral conditional statements were interpreted similarly. The results are discussed in light of current models of emotion and reasoning.
