Though good mood brings along cheerfulness and positive feelings, it is also linked with forgetfulness, as such a state of mind decreases your working memory capacity,said a study.
“Working memory, for example, is the ability to recall items in a conversation as you are having it,” said Elizabeth Martin, doctoral student of psychology at the University of Missouri College of Arts and Science, who led the study.
“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,” said Martin, the journal Cognition and Emotion reports.
