Résumé

Recent models propose a multi-process account of aesthetic judgement (AJ) integrating a subjective evaluation component based on self-referential processing. Accordingly, in a previous study, we showed that AJ produce a mnemonic advantage comparable with self-reference (SR). Yet, it is not clear whether this effect is linked to AJ per se, or to an underlying emotional evaluation (EE) process. In two studies, using the artworks used in our last study, we tried to disentangle the effects of AJ and EE. In the first, we asked 45 participants to encode paintings in an AJ, a SR and a control condition (judgement of color). Retrospectively, participants had to judge their emotional reaction to each painting. In the second, we used the same procedure but replaced the SR with an EE encoding condition. We replicated a mnemonic advantage for AJ. Yet, we showed that extreme emotional ratings of paintings better predicted recognition performances in the AJ than SR condition (Study 1), and that paintings encoded in the EE condition were as well recognized as those in the AJ condition (Study 2). This suggests that AJ might involve both self-referential and emotional components.
