Do all facial emojis communicate emotion? The impact of facial emojis on perceived sender emotion and text processing
作者：
Highlights：
• We investigated how facial emojis impact text comprehension using behavioral ratings and EEG.
• In ratings, negative emojis communicate specific mental states, while positive emojis communicate general positive emotion.
• In ERPs, the first words preceded by emojis elicited a larger N400 compared to the first words preceded by commas.
• In ERPs, the second words after emojis showed valence-specific word processing, as reflected by LPCs.
• Positive emojis maintain conversation flow, negative emojis impact text processing by providing emotional frame for text.
