Do you have trouble remembering names at parties? It may because your having too good a time. Scientists researching the relationship between mood and the memory have found being in a good mood decreases your ability to retain information. Awkward: Can't remember a new name at a dinner party? It may be because you're enjoying yourself, according to a new study Elizabeth Martin, a doctoral student from the University of Missouri, led the latest study into working (immediate) memory.
你在和親朋好友們的聚會party上記憶力好么？被譽(yù)為社交場合上的“花蝴蝶”是的的確確存在么？好事的科學(xué)家們經(jīng)過研究又得出結(jié)論：玩得越 high，您的記憶力會越差！好心情與個(gè)人的記憶力是呈現(xiàn)反比態(tài)勢增長的，也就是說，心情越來越好的時(shí)候，腦子會越來越容易忘事。根據(jù)一項(xiàng)來自密蘇里大學(xué)博士生Elizabeth Martin的研究證實(shí)，人在盡情忘我享受美好時(shí)光的時(shí)候，記憶力是十分差的，特別是“即時(shí)記憶力”奇弱無比。

She said of her findings: 'This explains why you might not be able to remember a phone number you get at a party when you are having a good time. 'This research is the first to show that positive mood can negatively impact working memory storage capacity. This shows that although systems in the brain are connected, it is possible to affect one process but not others.'
她的這項(xiàng)調(diào)查成果是人類針對記憶力的研究歷史上，首次提出“人的積極心情、積極情緒”對記憶力有可能產(chǎn)生的“負(fù)面影響”的相關(guān)結(jié)論，也就從科學(xué)上間接證實(shí)了，為什么在一個(gè)聚會的時(shí)候，可能很不容易記住一個(gè)電話號碼的原因。因?yàn)橹暗难芯績H僅證明了人的消極情緒對記憶力的影響，這次的證實(shí)的結(jié)論像是一扇窗戶，給陳舊的知識一縷新鮮的空氣。

However Ms Martin said: 'While working memory storage is decreased, being in a good mood is not all bad.'Being in a good mood has been shown to increase creative problem-solving skills and other aspects of thinking.' The doctoral student added that future research should analyse the impact of mood on working memory storage capacity in real life situations, such as in a classroom setting.
研究人員Ms Martin 說：“工作記憶存儲的能力雖然經(jīng)過證實(shí)在人的心情大好的時(shí)候會降低，但是好心情并不全是誤事的！好心情雖然不能讓您記憶力倍增，但是可以提高解決問題的創(chuàng)造力，以及提高思維的效率能力。”
