Description
Summary:碩士 === 國防大學政治作戰學院 === 心理碩士班 === 99 === The purpose of this study was to investigate the priming effects of applying the memory strategies for the learning of military tactics on creativity and critical thinking, and used regulatory focus as the moderating variable. In experiment 1, Sixty Participants were induced verbatim memories, gist memories and control group, then measure subjects’ perceptual scope and regulatory focus motives. The result found that verbatim memories could induce subjects’ local processing style and prevention focus motives, while the gist memories could not induce subjects’ global processing style, but induce promotion focus motives. In experiment 2A, it activated the verbatim memories, gist memories and control group subjects on one hundred twenty soldiers, then, did New Creativity Assessment. Take the “Regulatory Focus Questionnaire” before the activation. The result was that gist memories group has higher performance of creativity (New Creativity Assessment) than verbatim memories group, but it could not moderate the relationship between memory strategies for the learning of military tactics and creativity. In experiment 2B, it activated the verbatim memories, gist memories and control group subjects on one hundred twenty soldiers, then, did Critical Thinking Appraisal. Take the “Regulatory Focus Questionnaire” before the activation. The result was that verbatim memories group has higher performance of critical thinking than gist memories group, and it could also moderate the relationship between memory strategies for the learning of military tactics and critical thinking. In experiment 3, it activated the military principle recall and control group on forty soldiers. After activation, did emotion test、new creativity assessment and critical thinking appraisal. The result found that principle recall group has lower performance of originality (one dimension of New Creativity Assessment) than control group, while it did not have different on fluency and flexibility (both are dimensions of New Creativity Assessment). Furthermore that principle recall group has higher performance of critical thinking than control group. The findings show that verbatim memories could activate local processing style and promote prevention focus motives、critical thinking. Gist memories could promote promotion focus motives and creativity. Recall reciting principle could promote critical thinking, but decrease originality.
