Answer:
When people learn something while in one state (e.g., when they are feeling joyful or sad), they are better able to recall that thing while in the same state. This is known as state-dependent memory.
Step-by-step explanation:
Memory is a brain function that allows human beings to encode, store and retrieve information (and past experiences) that we previously perceived or experienced. Our ability to accurately remember information is affected by internal signals. This phenomenon is known as state dependent memory. Emotions affect processing styles and this is relevant in the relationship of emotions and memory.
State-dependent memory refers to the enigmatic finding that people who learn something in a particular physiological state tend to remember that something better if they return to the same state they were in during learning, that is, that everything we experience and we learn being in a particular state of mind (certain emotion), later each time we are in that same state of mind we can easily evoke what we have experienced and learned.
