AB - The current study investigates the impact of task-irrelevant negative facial expression stimuli on performance in tasks requiring the maintenance and recognition of visual or spatial information. Previous research has shown that task-irrelevant negative scene stimuli affect spatial memory but not visual memory. To further explore these findings, our study expands on them by examining the effects of facial expression stimuli. In Experiment 1, participants were instructed to remember location stimuli, while in Experiment 2, they were asked to remember shape stimuli. Throughout both experiments, negative and neutral facial expressions were presented while participants held the stimuli in memory. Interestingly, our results reveal that negative facial expressions enhance performance compared to neutral in a spatial memory task (in Experiment 1), but there was no significant difference in a visual memory task (in Experiment 2). These findings suggest that both negative emotions evoked by scene stimuli and facial expressions engage spatial attentional resources. However, the specific processing mechanisms may differ depending on the type of stimulus. Moreover, the results indicate that visual and spatial information might be processed independently in working memory.
