我们调查了阅读过程中情感内涵在多大程度上影响皮质电位。为此，事件相关电位（ERP）记录在阅读的高唤醒愉快和不愉快和低唤醒中性形容词，提出了在1 Hz和3 Hz的速率。与中性形容词相比，愉快和不愉快的情感处理的增强首先反映在词发作后200 ms开始的放大的早期后验负波（EPN）中。在较慢的1 Hz条件下分析的晚电位（> 300 ms）显示，对与N400降低和晚正电位（LPP）增强相关的愉快形容词的选择性易化加工。在附带记忆测试中，令人愉快的形容词也被更好地记住。因此，与情感相关的形容词被自发地、有选择地加工。最初，情绪唤醒驱动注意力捕获（EPN）。健康受试者可能对愉快的信息有一种自然的偏好，促进晚期ERP（N400，LPP）到愉快的形容词以及他们的上级回忆。
We investigated to what extent emotional connotation influences cortical potentials during reading. To this end, event-related potentials (ERPs) were recorded during reading of high arousal pleasant and unpleasant and low arousal neutral adjectives that were presented at rates of 1 Hz and 3 Hz. Enhanced processing of both pleasant and unpleasant emotional compared to neutral adjectives was first reflected in an amplified early posterior negativity (EPN) starting from 200 ms after word onset. Later potentials (> 300 ms), as analyzed in the slower 1 Hz condition, revealed facilitated processing selectively for pleasant adjectives that were associated with a reduced N400 and an enhanced late positive potential (LPP). Pleasant adjectives were also better remembered in an incidental memory test. Thus, emotionally relevant adjectives are processed spontaneously and selectively. Initially, emotional arousal drives attention capture (EPN). Healthy subjects may have a natural bias toward pleasant information facilitating late ERPs (N400, LPP) to pleasant adjectives as well as their superior recall.
