Abstract

In the current study, two experiments were conducted to investigate the influence of emotional faces on IOR with 90 emotional face pictures (positive, negative, and neutral) as the cues or the targest. Twenty participants in each experiment were instructed to complete the task of judging the location of the target. Separate average were computed for all combinations of cues (valid and invalid) and cue emotional valence (positive, negative and neutral) in Experiment 1 and of cues and target emotional valence in Experiment 2. ANOVAs were conducted on reaction time for each experiment. In experiment 1, only the main effect of cues was reliable, indicating IOR is a mechanism of blindness. In experiment 2, both the main effect of cues, and the interaction of cues and target emotional valence were significant, implying the modulation of emotional faces on IOR. In summary, we found that IOR was dissociated when the emotional faces appeared in the cue location, verifying the stability of IOR. But the IOR to the neutral faces was lager than that to the positive and negative faces when the faces acted as the target in cue-target paradigm. The results indicate that IOR is not affected by the biological cues, but will be affected by the nature of targets, suggesting that the evolutionary of IOR and the emotional bias are separate mechanisms.
