摘要：

Psychophysiological experiments were performed on 34 healthy subjects. We analyzed the accuracy and latency of motor response in recognizing two types of complex visual stimuli, animals and objects, which were presented immediately after a brief presentation of face images with different emotional expressions: anger, fear, happiness, and a neutral expression. We revealed the dependence of response latency on emotional expression of the masked face. The response latency was lower when the test stimuli were preceded by angry or fearful faces compared to happy or neutral faces. These effects depended on the type of stimulus and were more expressive when recognizing objects compared to animals. We found that the effects of emotional faces were related to personal features of the subjects that they exhibited in the emotional and communicative blocks of Cattell's test and were more expressive in more sensitive, anxious, and pessimistic introverts. The mechanisms of the effects of unconsciously perceived emotional information on human visual behavior are discussed. © 2013 Pleiades Publishing, Ltd.
