However, other studies (Kanske & Kotz, 2007) also suggest that visual word recognition differ in function of emotional valence. In this context, the present study was designed to evaluate the effects of retention level upon recogn

This study aimed at examining the impact of verbal emotional cues (negative/neutral/positive) to capt
