| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The present study aimed to investigate the effects of emotion on false memories involving roles of ventromedial prefrontal cortex (VMPFC) by evaluating two tasks of false recognition produced by emotion, one task of the Deese-Roediger-McDermott (DRM) paradigm and another task of the directed forgetting paradigm. Results of data on the DRM paradigm task showed that the number of false recognition in negative emotional stimuli is marginally increased than in neutral emotional stimuli. Results of data on the directed forgetting paradigm task revealed that the number of false recognition in negative emotional stimuli is a significant increase in comparison with neutral emotional stimuli, due to the decrease of attentional inhibition playing a role of dorsolateral prefrontal cortex in aging. These results represent an important step toward developing the evidence-based intervention strategy to improve behavioral symptom following damage to the VMPFC.
