Abstract

The relationship between emotion and memory has been widely studied. The present study aims to explore the effects of mood and valenced Information on memory. Sixty undergraduate students aged 18–26 years were induced with positive or negative emotions and then completed the Positive and Negative Affect Scale and a memory task. The results revealed that in a positive mood group’s participants were inclined to retrieve more positively-valenced semantic information whereas in a sad mood group’s participants would be better at retrieving that negatively-valenced information. The results were more significant in the negative emotion group than the other two groups. It indicates that positive emotions have an improvement in short-term memory ability, so learning efficiency can be processed by guiding individual emotions to make them have positive emotions during learning.
