Emotional Terms in Terms of Learning, Memory and Examination of Emotional Response in the Scope of Cognitive Psychology

When carrying out experimental activities that include the stimulation of feelings, it is of the utmost importance to bear in mind that the kind of stimulus used has a considerable influence on the amount of time spent showing that feeling. In addition to this, the amount of time that is spent showing it has a big influence on the kind of stimulus that is being employed. People are able to establish how they are feeling at any point in time by using one of a large selection of self-assessment tools, which are readily available to them at any time. These tools have a variety of applications (Bradley and Lang , 1994). The Self-Evaluation Manikin (SAM), the Semantic Difference (SD), and the Likert scale are the types of assessment procedures that are used the most commonly. SAM is an evaluation method that does not rely on verbal communication and instead makes use of visual tools to directly examine emotional reactions to emotional stimuli in terms of valence, arousal, and dominance. The SD scale is constructed up of alternating pairs of bipolar adjectives in order to offer a subjective evaluation of visual stimuli. This action was taken in order to accomplish the scale's primary goal in its entirety. This evaluation has to take place within the brain of the user. Participants in the Likert scale are given the option to assess their own emotional responses using a "x-point" scale. This scale ranges from 0 to 10. It is recommended to use a method known as the Positive and Negative Impact Chart when conducting research that does not aim to investigate a wide range of emotional states but rather focuses on analyzing the relationship between two fundamental aspects of emotion. This chart can help researchers analyze the connection between two aspects of emotion (PANAS). This is due to the fact that the PANAS technique was established to quantify the link between the positive and negative elements of emotion (positive valence and negative valence, respectively) (Watson et al., 1988). Therefore, selecting the self-assessment technique that is most suitable is an important component of experimental design. Despite the fact that this is a procedure that has the potential to be rather difficult to grasp, it is nevertheless a vital component
