List Learning

The present study attempted a modified replication of Bower, et al.'s 1978 finding of affective state-dependent retrieval. It is argued that Bower's finding confounds two theoretically distinct effects, pure affective state-dependent retrieval and an interference effect. Using the Velten mood induction and an interference list learning task over 24- to 48-hr. intervals, it was impossible to replicate Bower's finding. Considering the difficulty of reproducing affective state-dependent retrieval in many laboratories, one must exercise caution in drawing conclusions about its generalizability.

Treatment Conditions

The present study investigated whether learning and retrieval are associated with changes in mood state. 50 college students (20 men and 30 women) were assigned to one of five treatment conditions: Happy-Happy, Sad-Sad, Neutral-Neutral, Happy-Sad, and Sad-Happy Mood was induced via the Velten procedure. During the first mood-induction phase, students were exposed to a serial-learning task and recall trial, followed by a digit-symbol task. In the next phase, students were given a 5-min. muscle-relaxation exercise and a 5-min. distracting task. In the final phase, students underwent a second mood-induction phase, and a subsequent recall trial and digit-symbol task. Analyses indicated that recall was significantly greater in the Happy-Happy and Sad-Sad groups. Findings for the Neutral-Neutral group were mixed. Results are discussed in terms of support for the concept of context-related, mood-state-dependent recall.
