Two experiments applied the same stimuli sets of English emotion words. Experiment 1 used the verbatim judge task, 3 (positive/negative/neutral) element within-subjects design. Experiment 2 used the gist judge task, 3 (positive/negative/neutral) element within-subjects design. Through analyzing the different mechanisms of emotion words under the second-language DRM paradigm, the paper suggests that the positive words do inhibited the false memory under the verbatim processing; negative words promoted the false memory under the gist processing. So the positive words have advantages in verbatim processing and the negative words do have gist skills.
