This study uses the subliminal affective priming paradigm to examine their subliminal affective processing capabilities. Results:(1) the response of the consistent trils was significantly the shortest in both groups; and the heroin abstainers have longer response time than control group (2) there was a positive bias in heroin abstainers. Conclusions: (1) There is a subliminal affective priming effect in heroin abstainers; (2) Due to the damage caused by long-term drug dependence, the subliminal affective processing is different from normal people. Tips:Enriches the theoretical basis for prevention of relapse in heroin abstainers.
