Presentation Abstract
This study looks at the relationship between emotionally charged words and the depth at which information is processed and how this relationship affects memory. It is predicted that emotional stimuli make the depth of processing process easier, resulting in the negatively charged, deeply processed words being recalled most frequently. Participants will be presented with stimuli using a word task and then take a memory test. Responses to the memory test will be measured via Qualtrics. Results and implications will be discussed.
