Abstract

There are many discussions about whether emotions affect general learning abilities, especially the memory part. There are several pieces of research have successfully proved that emotional memories contain more accurate details than nonemotional memories do, especially negative emotions. This paper focuses more on whether positive emotion can successfully increase people’s memory accuracy on verbal memories. This paper responds to this question by proposing a method of manipulating emotion and testing people’s memory accuracy under certain emotions. This paper gives evidence suggesting that positive emotion wouldn’t increase people’s memory accuracy as we thought. There is only a slight difference in memory accuracy between positively emotionally stimulated people and neutrally emotionally stimulated people, and we can’t prove that emotional cues help to increase memory retrieving accuracy.
