Abstract

Emotion words modulate conflict processing, even at an early stage (i.e., N200). However, the previous studies implicitly mixed emotion-label words and emotion-laden words together and mostly concentrated on first language (L1) rather than on second language (L2). The current study aimed to investigate whether L2 negative emotion-label words, negative emotion-laden words, and neutral words would affect conflict processing in a flanker task by using event-related potential (ERP) measurements. Twenty Chinese-English bilinguals completed a modified flanker task to decide the color of the target words. The results revealed that only L2 negative emotion-label words elicited larger left frontal N200 in the incongruent condition than in the congruent condition. No significant difference between the two conditions was observed for L2 negative emotion-laden words or neutral words. This research demonstrated that L2 emotion words could also modulate early conflict processing, at least for L2 negative emotion-label words.

情绪词对侧卫任务早期冲突加工的调节:二语情绪标签词与情绪负载词的区分。

情绪词调节冲突加工，甚至在早期阶段(即N200)。然而，以往的研究隐含地将情感标签词和情感承载词混合在一起，并且主要集中在第一语言(L1)而不是第二语言(L2)。本研究旨在通过事件相关电位(ERP)测量，探讨第二语言负性情绪标签词、负性情绪负载词和中性词是否会影响侧卫任务中的冲突加工。20名中英双语者完成了一项修改后的侧边任务，以确定目标单词的颜色。结果表明，只有第二语言消极情绪标签词在不一致条件下比在一致条件下诱发了更大的左额叶N200。第二语言负性情绪词汇和中性词汇在两种情况下无显著差异。本研究表明，二语情绪词对二语负面情绪标签词的早期冲突加工也有调节作用。
