Revisiting the prioritization of emotional information in iconic memory.

ABSTRACT: In this replication study, the previously reported prioritization of emotional stimuli in iconic memory (Kuhbandner et al. 2011. Psychol. Sci. 22, 695-700. (doi:10.1177/0956797611406445)) was reinvestigated. Therefore, recall from iconic memory was measured for sets of visual images that were briefly presented in the periphery of the visual field. Using a partial-report technique, a central arrow presented at varying delays after the images was pointing to the location of the to-be-recalled target. In the direct replication (experiment 1, n = 41), participants were asked to verbally report the cued image (note that the entire planned sample size could not be reached owing to the COVID-19 pandemic), and in an extension experiment (experiment 2, n = 55), ic
