Abstract: In order to explore the effect of lovelorn experience on attention bias of love related stimuli, eye movement and event-related potential techniques were used to investigate the eye movement and ERP characteristics of lovelorn and lovelorn individuals in the face of positive and negative love information. Through two experiments, it was found that the interaction between picture type and lovelorn experience reached a statistically significant level in the total fixation time and the number of fixation points. The participants with lovelorn experience had more fixation points and longer fixation time than those without lovelorn experience. ERP experiment results show that the N1 peak induced by positive love pictures is larger than that induced by negative love pictures, and the N1 latency of the subjects with lovelorn experience to positive pictures is significantly faster than that of the subjects without lovelorn experience. The P1 peak of the subjects with lovelorn experience on positive love pictures is smaller than that of the subjects without lovelorn experience. The study revealed that there were significant differences in eye movement characteristics and neurophysiology between groups with and without lovelorn experience. People with lovelorn experiences tend to pay attention to negative love pictures in behavior, while those without lovelorn experience tend to pay attention to positive love pictures in neurophysiology.

Key words: lovelorn, love-related stimuli, attentional bias, N1, P1
