The emotional Stroop task has been widely used to examine attentional bias in a variety of psychological disorders. In one format of this task, words are presented to participants in a mixed randomised or quasi-randomised sequence. We present data from two independent studies involving smokers, the results of which show that words appearing after smoking-related items in the mixed sequence are responded to more slowly than words appearing after neutral items. These carry-over effects may reduce the size of emotional Stroop effects on the mixed Stroop task. We discuss the implications of these carry-over effects for research using the emotional Stroop task.
情绪斯特鲁普任务已被广泛用于检测各种心理障碍中的注意偏向。在该任务的一种形式中，单词以混合随机或准随机序列呈现给参与者。我们展示了两项涉及吸烟者的独立研究的数据，结果表明，在混合序列中出现在与吸烟相关项目之后的单词，其反应速度比出现在中性项目之后的单词更慢。这些延续效应可能会减小情绪斯特鲁普效应在混合斯特鲁普任务中的规模。我们讨论了这些延续效应对于使用情绪斯特鲁普任务进行研究的意义。
