通过使用具有情感效价的词汇，对情绪刺激对来源记忆的影响进行了研究。这些词汇被染成蓝色或黄色（实验1），或者被蓝色或黄色的边框环绕（实验2）。参与者被要求将词汇与颜色相关联。在这两个实验中，与无情感效价的词汇相比，具有情感效价的词汇引发了更强的自由回忆；然而，再认记忆没有受到影响。对于情感词汇，相关颜色的来源记忆也得到了增强，这表明即使是对情境信息的记忆也受益于情绪刺激。这种效应不是由于情感词汇语义聚类的容易程度，因为尽管回忆增强，但语义相关的词汇并没有与增强的来源记忆相关联（实验3）。有人认为，这种增强是由于易化的唤醒或注意力导致的，这可能会增加对来源记忆很重要的组织过程。
The influence of emotional stimuli on source memory was investigated by using emotionally valenced words. The words were colored blue or yellow (Experiment 1) or surrounded by a blue or yellow frame (Experiment 2). Participants were asked to associate the words with the colors. In both experiments, emotionally valenced words elicited enhanced free recall compared with nonvalenced words; however, recognition memory was not affected. Source memory for the associated color was also enhanced for emotional words, suggesting that even memory for contextual information is benefited by emotional stimuli. This effect was not due to the ease of semantic clustering of emotional words because semantically related words were not associated with enhanced source memory, despite enhanced recall (Experiment 3). It is suggested that enhancement resulted from facilitated arousal or attention, which may act to increase organization processes important for source memory.
