摘要：Human beings have always paid attention to emotions, because they are involved in every endeavor and every important human action. Memory is the mental talent to recall materials and events, but emotion is a special interior affective state usually based on some alternations and interpretations. This research aims to find whether emotions influence recall. For this purpose, a research was conducted on 300 grade one students at guidance school, of whom 50 were randomly chosen and divided into control and experimental groups. The methodology was Free Recall of 30 words randomly chosen from a 200 word list. Results of the descriptive statistics indicated that emotions can decrease, rather than increase, recall. But the inferential statistics showed that, because of the measurement error, the results of the descriptive statistics were not supported; hence, emotions do not have any significant effect on recall.
