本研究採用情緒Stroop 作業、再認作業（recognition task） 以及自由回憶作業（free recall）這三種作業來探討情緒詞對於注意力以及記憶的影響。在實驗一中，情緒詞與非情緒詞皆以中英文的呈現方式來呈現。結果顯示情緒詞對於注意力的分配並無顯著的影響，即受式者在情緒Stroop的作業中對於情緒詞的叫色反應時間與非情緒詞的叫色反應時間並無差異。 此外，相較於中性詞，情緒詞在於記憶上的提取也無顯著的優勢。實驗二則是以另一群受試和僅利用中文材料的情況下再次的複製實驗一的實驗，並加入自由回憶作業。結果發現受式者在於情緒詞的自由回憶項目上，表現的比中性詞好。即使在實驗三採用英文詞的情境下，也同樣找到類似於實驗二的結果。雖然本研究的實驗結果無法支持情緒的Stroop效果（the emotional Stroop effect），但支持情緒對於增加記憶會有所影響的假設。而此結果則說明了情緒對於記憶的影響並不完全的取決於早期訊息登陸處理的歷程。此外，情緒對於記憶的影響不論是在母語或是第二語言中，其影響的情況皆是一致的。

The present study examined the effect of emotional words on attention and memory by using the emotional Stroop task, a recognition task and a free recall task. In Experiment 1, the emotional and nonemotional words were presented in both Chinese and English conditions. The results did not show a clear benefit of emotional words on capture attention as color naming times for emotional words were not different from neutral words. No memory enhancement was found for emotional words compared with neutral words. Experiment 2 replicated Experiment 1 by using Chinese words only and added a recall task. Although the effect of emotional words was not found for attention, emotional words were found to recall better than nonemotional words. The same pattern of results found in Experiment 2 was also found in Experiment 3, except the words presented in Experiment 3 were English words. No clear emotional Stroop effect was found in the present study, however, memory enhancement was found for emotional words in the recall condition. The present findings suggested that the early stage of encoding with the involvement of attention does not contribute totally to the memory enhancement for the emotional words. The effect of emotion on memory and attention is similar in both native and second languages.
