  Abstract: The aim of this study was to inves-tigate the effect of semantic relevance and emotional valence on associative word recogni-tion. To do so, single design with a post-test was used. The population consisted of all students in Semnan University in 2013. Participants were 80 undergraduate students (43 males and 37 females) from the two faculties of psychology and education, and engineering of Semnan Univer-sity, who were chosen via conventionce method. By making use of SuperLab software, partici-pants completed a computer test that offered pairs of words and also Wechsler Memory Scale-Revised (WMS-R). Analysis of covari-ance of repeated measurements was used. Findings indicated the effect of semantic rele-vance and emotional valence on associative words recognition (F=7/64, P<0/001). Whereas pairs of neutral words with semantic relation were presented, the highest recognition was ob- served, pairs of emotional words with no seman-tic relation brought about lowest recognition rate. The results showed that the semantic rela-tionship between pairs of words, compared to the emotional valence of them (positive or ne-gative), had a greater impact on recognition. Manuscript profile

  The present research was conducted to evaluate the relation between the scores in Schizophrenia character trait assessed by MMPI-2 Test on explanation of explicit memory and its indicators (eg, recognition and recall memory) and selective attention in a healthy student group. The method of the research was descriptive-correlational. To do so, 182 students from Bonab Payam Noor and some other universities were selected via cluster sampling method. Having chronic physical or mental or neurological diseases, or smoking or drug addiction were the exclusion criteria in this research. For gathering data, 78 items of MMPI-2 Sc scale, 90 words of Explicit Memory Test (EMT), and Toulouse-Pieron Attention Test (T-PAT) were used. The results of this research proved the predictive role of Sc character trait in the functioning explicit memory and selective attention (p<0.05), and indicated that with one unit change in Sc score explicit memory will change 0.29 unit and selective attention 0.17 unit in the opppsite direction.
