Our previous expriments showed that, when 72 words of similar structure and familiarity were each presented by tachistoscope, emotional stimuli given 5sec. prior to the presentation affected the word recognition.
Now, in order to explore the above results more explicitly, it was first tested whether emotional stimuli will differentially affect word recognition or the results are attributed to the differeces in receptor organs, secondly whether chlorpromazine (a kind of tranquilizers) will repress the effect of emotion on word recognition.
The following results were obtained:
1) Difference in receptor organs did not affect word recongnition. Thus our previous results showed clearly that the differential emotions affect word recognition.
2) Use of chlorpromazine repressed significantly the effect of emotion on word recognition.
The obtained facts that emotional stimuli are effective on verbal response are not in accordance with Eriksen's theory on multiple concurrent response model. Besides, his theory does not seem to explain perceptual defense and sensitization phenomena. Thus, following Lazarus, we may assume that “subception” is a function of the autonomic system.
