Memory Preference Of Alexithymia

People all Live in the society,and we all have to communicate with others.It is one of thenecessary prerequisite to correctly identify and express emotions in social interaction. But thereare a lot of people around us,who are unable to accurately experience and express their feelings,to performance rigidly and inflexible, and lack of a sense of humor and imagination, evenperformancing anxiety. We belive they exist alexithymia trouble.Alexithymia was originally derived from the observations of clinical patients withpsychosomatic diseases, gradually attracted the attention of other research fellows in the fieldwith the depth of the research.The definition of alexithymia has also experienced a fairly longperiod of time. Alexithymia ultimately defined from the beginning of "childish personality" and"emotional blindness", and slowly improved to the definition in Haviland. Haviland summedup the views of13experts, then definited the alexithymia in1996: individual difficulties ofexperience and expression of emotional; easy to anxiety, rigid, inflexible, withdrawal; lack ofimagination; arrested in the section through the ship dance moment; lack of insight into thesense of humor; lack of sense of personal worth in life; physical symptoms of anxiety andtension. This definition of the alexithymia has also become the most frequently cited and useddefinition.In the field of alexithymia research, research mainly divided into two categories at present:a class of research fellows focuses on mental health and epidemiological research, otherresearch focuses on the field of psychology. Psychological research in the field can be dividedinto two directions: one direction mainly focus on the influencing factors of alexithymia, suchas personality factors, environmental factors, relations with other mental health factors;Another research direction concerning mechanism and cognitive characteristics of alexithymia,mainly through the experiment, EEG, magnetic resonance and other methods to study thephysiological characteristics of alexithymia and the emotional and cerebral cognitive deficits.This article based on alexithymia information processing defect theory and carried outpreliminary experiments and formal experiments. Preliminary experiments used the TorontoAlexithymia Scale (TAS-20) which is the most commonly using, and showing the goodreliability and validity researched464students in junior high school.Through the research we founded that alexithymia does not exist gender and other differences in the junior high schoolgroups. Formal experiment E.Prime software to the preparation of the study program, mainlyon the junior high school groups in the high memory processes in the low alexithymiaInformation processing differences, results showed that junior high school groups in the highalexithymia existence of the phenomenon of memory preferences. This phenomenon ismanifested as high alexithymia of disease associated with the word recall rate is much higherthan the emotional words and neutral words than low alexithymia. The experimental resultssimilar to the experimental results with adults, did not show differences in two aspects. At thesame time, the results of this study also verified from the side alexithymia the emotionalinformation processing defect theory, and also a certain reference guide for follow-up study.
