| Abstract: | The purpose of this study by a 9th grade student "was to see if there were a relationship between memory and emotions." 121 Ss (junior high school students) viewed 30 words successively, each being exposed for a period of 2? sec., and then were instructed to recall them in writing. A week later dittoed lists of the same words were rated on a 5-point scale of unpleasantness-pleasantness by the Ss. "The difference in the kind of feeling, i.e., pleasant or unpleasant, seems to have no effect on memory… . Intensity of emotion does appear to affect memory."
