La eficacia en la identificación congruente de pares de secuencias de estímulos visuales de naturaleza afectiva

Abstract

The aim of this study is to test the effectiveness in identifying sequences of visual stimuli depend on the emotional nature of them. The sample consisted of young women studentrs at the University Jaime. The task was programmed with the compiler Visual Studio 2013, which allowed th sequential presentation of two configuration types of visual stimuli: three vertical lines (short/and/or long) and Efes three emotional facial expressions (anger, happy and/or neutral). The results show that the identification of consistent visual patterns is faster than the incongruent and also affective valence modulates the response latence. We interpret these results from the hypothesis of the threat and emotionality.
