Description

The development of a full-blown emotional response can be understood as the result of two independent processes (LeDoux, 1996, 2000). The core of the emotional system involves a mechanism for computing the affective significance of stimuli (cf. Zajonc, 1984). This mechanism operates automatically, outside of conscious awareness, and depends on implicit memory. Studies have found that autonomic responses can be directly activated through this mechanism and these responses are part of the precursers for the conscious emotional experience. Subjective experience is the outcome of the second process, involving the conscious elaboration of emotional information, and is dependent on explicit or declarative memory. Empirical support for this model stems mostly from negative emotions, in particular fear (e.g., Bechera et al., 1995; LeDoux, 1996; Morris, Ohman, & Dolan, 1998). However, there is growing evidence that these pathways are also relevant to positive emotions (e.g., Adolphs, Tranel, & Damasio, 1998; Hamann, Ely, Grafton, & Kilts, 1999; Morris et al., 1996; Whalen et al., 1998). Sex can be thought of as among the emotions (Everaerd, 1988; Geer, Lapour, & Jackson, 1993), and the sexual emotions can be taken as prototypical in the domain of positive emotions. The studies presented in this paper are an attempt to investigate the contribution of implicit versus explicit central activation of sexual response.
