Abstract

Emotion plays an important role in perception, attention, memory and decision-making. Working memory is a limited capacity memory system that temporarily processes and stores information. It builds a platform for information exchange between perception, memory and human cognitive behavior. The relationship between emotion and working memory, especially the influence of emotion on working memory, has always been worth studying. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the influence of positive and negative emotions on students’ working memory. An experiment was conducted in August 2021 in which thirty high school students aged sixteen to nineteen with a normal IQ in Qingdao, Shandong Province were randomly selected. According to the findings, both negative and positive emotions may have an impact on a high school student’s working memory.
