Abstract: To investigate the effects of interpersonal context on working memory (WM),participants first underwent one of the three interpersonal situations (interpersonal trust,interpersonal betrayal and altruistic punishment after the betrayal) in trust game task and then performed an N-Back WM task.The results showed that:(1) the accuracies of N-back WM task decreased significantly with the increase of task difficulty.In addition,in the 1-back condition,the accuracies of interpersonal trust and altruistic punishment after the betrayal were higher than that of interpersonal betrayal;in the 2-back condition,the accuracy of interpersonal trust was higher than that of interpersonal betrayal and altruistic punishment after the betrayal;in the 3-back condition,there were no significant differences between groups;(2) the reaction time became significantly longer with the increase of the task difficulty.In the 1-back condition,the reaction time of interpersonal trust and altruistic punishment after the betrayal was lower than that of interpersonal betrayal;in the 2-back and 3-back condition,no significant difference was found across groups.These results suggested that the effect of interpersonal experiences on WM performance is modulated by task difficulty.

Key words: interpersonal trust, interpersonal betrayal, altruistic punishment, working memory
