In this review, we investigated the influence of happy/pleasurable and sad/unpleasant emotional stimuli on working memory (WM) performance. Twenty-eight out of 356 articles were reviewed. We observed that emotional stimuli were used as mood inductors or as targets comprising the WM task. Results showed that WM modalities were influenced differently when updating, interference resolution, span, and complex tasks were applied. Specifically, we found distinct effects of emotional stimuli for updating tasks, in which (a) verbal modality seems to be impaired regardless of the emotional valence used compared to neutral stimuli, (b) visual updating processes appear to be improved by emotional stimuli as the targets of the task, and (c) emotional words improved interference resolution performance. As for storage, span, and complex WM tasks, sad/unpleasant emotional stimuli seem to decrease both verbal and visuospatial modalities when used as emotional inductors.
在本综述中，我们研究了愉快/愉悦和悲伤/不愉快的情绪刺激对工作记忆（WM）表现的影响。我们从356篇文章中筛选出28篇进行综述。我们观察到情绪刺激被用作情绪诱导物或作为WM任务的目标。结果表明，当应用更新、干扰解决、广度和复杂任务时，WM模式受到的影响有所不同。具体而言，我们发现情绪刺激对更新任务有不同的影响，其中：（a）与中性刺激相比，无论使用何种情绪效价，言语模式似乎都会受到损害；（b）情绪刺激作为任务目标时，视觉更新过程似乎会得到改善；（c）情绪词汇可提高干扰解决能力。至于存储、广度和复杂的WM任务，悲伤/不愉快的情绪刺激作为情绪诱导物使用时，似乎会降低言语和视觉空间模式。
