情绪记忆文献已经表明，消极的情绪唤醒可以增强记忆。S.A.Christian(1992)提出前注意加工可以解释这种情绪-记忆关系。为了验证克里斯汀森的理论，进行了两个实验。在实验1中，参与者被暴露在中性和负性唤醒幻灯片中。在实验2中，参与者被暴露在中性、消极唤醒和积极唤醒幻灯片中。在这两个实验中，上述变量都与注意力分散或非注意力分散的情况进行了因素性组合。作者预测，与不分开的情况相反，分散注意力对中性和积极刺激的负面影响比负面刺激更大。这一假设得到了支持；当参与者的注意力分散而不是不分散时，他们回忆起的高度负面唤醒的幻灯片比积极或中性的幻灯片更多。
The emotion-memory literature has shown that negative emotional arousal enhances memory. S. A. Christianson (1992) proposed that preattentive processing could account for this emotion-memory relationship. Two experiments were conducted to test Christianson's theory. In Experiment 1, participants were exposed to neutral and negative arousing slides. In Experiment 2, participants were exposed to neutral, negative arousing, and positive arousing slides. In both experiments, the aforementioned variable was factorially combined with a divided-attention or non-divided-attention condition. The authors predicted that, in contrast to the nondivided condition, dividing attention would adversely impact neutral and positive stimuli more than negative stimuli. The hypothesis was supported; participants recalled more high negative-arousal slides than positive or neutral slides when their attention was divided rather than nondivided.
