| Research Abstract |
Affective meanings aroused by various objects can be quantified by the semantic differential (SD)technique. In this technique, 3 main factors ("Evaluation","Activity", and"potency")have been consistently extracted irrespective of the differences in objects and the cultural differences of participants. Using neuro-imaging (fMRI), we showed that E, A, and P produced brain activities in the inferior frontal gyrus, the superior temporal gyrus, and the superior frontal gyrus, respectively. Our research is a pioneer work that suggests the psychological structures of affective dimensions being distributed in specific areas of the brain.
