Abstract
60 subjects took part in an expt. which duplicated, in every respect save one, the expt. reported in the preceding paper of this series (J. Exp. Psychol., 1939, 24, 73-85). Subjects sorted 49 words; learned to pronounce 5 and not to pronounce 5; then, after a week interval, sorted the 49 words again. The interpolation of a week interval is the only variation in conditions of the preceding expt. Treatment of the data was the same as that employed in the preceding report. The effects of positive reactions are found to be present after a wk., although to a smaller degree than immediately after learning. The results fail to demonstrate the presence of the effects of negative reactions after a wk. This report contains an extensive review of the literature on changing affective judgments.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
