On emotion-cognition integration: The effect of happy and sad moods on language comprehension
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 08 June 2015
Abstract
I comment on Pessoa's (2013) idea that the interaction between emotion and cognition cannot be reduced to mutual interference. As an example that bolsters Pessoa's position, I discuss the effects of happy and sad moods on discourse and sentence comprehension. I distinguish between the effects of moods elicited without participants' knowledge (incidental) and moods elicited with participants' contribution (constructed).
