37475

Revelation effect refers to a memory bias that people are more likely to judge items as old if they were manipulated and then revealed during a recognition test. In this study, revelation effect was examined in terms of emotional and neutral words. In result, it was found that because emotional stimulus inhibited a memory bias dependent of feeling of familiarity it did not create the revelation effect. The research results supported the explanations in the direction of that the revelation effect is an answer bias resulting from some uncertainty in source memory. The results were evaluated in terms of advantages of emotional test items against neutral ones.
