在三个实验中，我们检查了与情绪诱导信息发生在同一背景下的外围信息的记忆。在前两个实验中，参与者研究了一个句子（实验1）或一对单词（实验2A-2C），其中包含一个中性的外围词，以及一个中性的，负价的，或禁忌词，以诱导情绪反应。在提取时，被试被要求从句子片段或情感诱导词线索中回忆中性外围词。在实验三中，我们提出了词对在编码和测试的记忆与联想识别。在这三个实验中，当记忆被编码在存在情绪唤起禁忌词的情况下时，对外围词的记忆得到了增强，但当记忆被编码在存在消极效价的单词时，记忆却没有增强。这些数据与优先级结合理论（MacKay等人，2004）和注意力缩小假说（Easterbrook，1959），以及与基于对象的绑定理论（马瑟，2007）不一致。
In three experiments, we examined memory for peripheral information that occurred in the same context as emotion-inducing information. In the first two experiments, participants studied either a sentence (Experiment 1) or a pair of words (Experiments 2A-2C) containing a neutral peripheral word, as well as a neutral, negative-valence, or taboo word, to induce an emotional response. At retrieval, the participants were asked to recall the neutral peripheral word from a sentence fragment or emotion-inducing word cue. In Experiment 3, we presented word pairs at encoding and tested memory with associative recognition. In all three experiments, memory for peripheral words was enhanced when it was encoded in the presence of emotionally arousing taboo words but not when it was encoded in the presence of words that were only negative in valence. These data are consistent with priority-binding theory (MacKay et al., 2004) and inconsistent with the attention-narrowing hypothesis (Easterbrook, 1959), as well as with object-based binding theory (Mather, 2007).
