Abstract(in English) In two experiments we investigated the influence of directness of word affect on conscious and unconscious recall using an incidental learning paradigm. Specifically, we presented under graduate students with words that were directly affective words (e.g., kanashimi 'sadness'; Exp. 1) or indirectly affective words (e.g., taiyou 'sun'; Exp. 2). The test phase involved a blocked word completion task in which subjects were told to provide a word that was (inclusion block) or was not (exclusion block) presented in the study phase. By applying the process-dissociation procedure proposed by Jacoby (1991), we determined that subjects had poorer conscious recall of directly affective words that were unpleasant compared to those that were pleasant, while there was no difference in the degree of conscious recall for pleasant or unpleasant words that were indirectly affective. The results are interpreted in terms of psychodynamic forgetting.
