Zusammenfassung:
In a two-session EEG experiment, we used short film clips to manipulate the mood of participants before they read mini-texts in which gender-marked pronouns confirmed or disconfirmed verb-based heuristic expectancies. In line with our predictions, unexpected pronouns elicited a P600 effect when readers were in a happy mood, and did not do so when the same readers were in a sad mood. This supports the idea that a happy mood increases the use of heuristics.
