Memory retention significantly decreases when individuals learn under negative or neutral emotional states, according to recent experimental findings. Conversely, when study participants engage with new information while experiencing positive emotions, their ability to recall those objects improves. This relationship between emotion and memory highlights the critical role that positive feelings play in enhancing learning outcomes. The results suggest that emotional states during the learning process can have a profound impact on information retention and overall memory performance.
Objects are more memorable when people encounter them while feeling positive emotions than while feeling negative ones.
