Research on emotion processing in the visual modality suggests a processing advantage for emotionally salient stimuli, even at early sensory stages; however, results concerning the auditory correlates are inconsistent. We present two experiments that employed a gating paradigm to investigate emotional prosody. In Experiment 1, participants heard successively building segments of Jabberwocky "sentences" spoken with happy, angry, or neutral intonation. After each segment, participants indicated the emotion conveyed and rated their confidence in their decision. Participants in Experiment 2 also heard Jabberwocky "sentences" in successive increments, with half discriminating happy from neutral prosody, and half discriminating angry from neutral prosody. Participants in both experiments identified neutral prosody more rapidly and accurately than happy or angry prosody. Confidence ratings were greater for neutral sentences, and error patterns also indicated a bias for recognising neutral prosody. Taken together, results suggest that enhanced processing of emotional content may be constrained by stimulus modality.
视觉模态中的情绪加工研究表明，即使在早期感觉阶段，情绪显著刺激也具有加工优势；然而，关于听觉相关因素的结果并不一致。我们进行了两项实验，采用门控范式来研究情绪韵律。在实验1中，参与者依次听取了用高兴、愤怒或中性语调说出的《炸脖龙》“句子”的逐步构建片段。在每个片段之后，参与者指出所传达的情绪并对自己判断的信心进行评分。实验2的参与者也依次递增地听取《炸脖龙》“句子”，其中一半参与者区分高兴与中性韵律，另一半区分愤怒与中性韵律。两项实验的参与者识别中性韵律比高兴或愤怒韵律更快、更准确。对中性句子的信心评分更高，错误模式也表明存在识别中性韵律的偏差。综合来看，结果表明对情绪内容的增强加工可能受到刺激模态的限制。
