(Emotions and Memory) How Does Your Mood Affect Your Memory?
Показать описание
The question of how our moods and emotions affect our memory has intrigued educators and cognitive psychologists for decades.
And, at this point, we have mountains of research demonstrating that emotions do indeed have a major impact on memory functions -- from encoding (memory formation), to consolidation, to retrieval.
We also know that emotionally charged memories generally last longer; and that there's a strong correlation between the mood a person is in when a memory is formed, and the mood that best supports future recall of that memory:
For instance, let’s say you were really happy at your last birthday party. In this case, it will be easiest for you to recall memories of this event during future moments when you feel happy.
On the other hand, if you were really sad at your party, the opposite will hold true -- it will be easiest for you to recall this event during future periods of sadness.
But here’s the interesting thing …
The vast majority of existing research on this particular topic has dealt with episodic memories, which are memories of specific events and experiences (like a birthday party).
However, very little research has been done on the relationship between moods/emotions and semantic memories, which are knowledge of general facts and concepts (like how old you are).
In this installment of ‘From Theory to Practice’, I examine a Mar-2020 research article that deals with this very issue:
The Effects of Mood and Retrieval Cues on Semantic Memory and Metacognition (Amanda Hall et al, March 2020)
Here are some of the questions I tackle in this video:
-- How do episodic and semantic memories differ?
-- How do our moods/emotions impact our ability to retrieve memories … both episodic and semantic?
-- What are three big takeaways from this article for teachers and students (Hint: You may change the way you use no-and-low stakes quizzes going forward)?
Give it a watch, and let me know what you think in the comments.
And, as always, if you find this video valuable, interesting and/or entertaining, you can support our channel by liking, sharing and subscribing ;)
