An emotional memory advantage has been found across the life span where recall is better for emotional (as opposed to neutral) stimuli. Our goal was to design emotionally valent word lists for easy use by practitioners and to test whether demented and healthy elderly participants showed an emotional memory advantage with these lists. Three new word lists (a positive, a negative, and a neutral l...

This paper proposes and evaluates a multi-agents system called NORA that predicts emotional attributes from learners' brainwaves within an Intelligent Tutoring System. The measurements from the electrical brain activity of the learner are combined with information about the learner's emotional attributes. Electroencephalogram was used to measure brainwaves and Self Reports to measure the three ...

The term “EI (emotional intelligence)” was first used in 1990 by Salovey and Mayer. EI involves: (1) the ability to perceive accurately, appraise and express emotion; (2) the ability to access and/or generate feelings when they facilitate thought; (3) the ability to understand emotion and emotional knowledge; and (4) the ability to regulate emotions to promote emotional and intellectual growth....

This paper presents a speech emotion recognition system using a recurrent neural network (RNN) model trained by an efficient learning algorithm. The proposed system takes into account the long-range contextual effect and the uncertainty of emotional label expressions. To extract high-level representation of emotional states with regard to its temporal dynamics, a powerful learning method with a...

It is well-known that emotions have a strong influence on a person’s cognitive abilities, a fact which can be used by a tutor to improve a student’s learning capacities. Conditions are that the tutor knows the current emotional state of the learner as well as the emotional impact of certain actions taken and, finally, how the student’s learning capacities depend on his emotions. In this article...

Though privileges ascribed to various facets of language learning strategy training have long been espoused with regard to varied language skills and components, the role some individual variables such as emotional intelligence might play in this respect seems to have received very scant attention. The researchers in the current study embarked on a probe into the impact of metacognitive strateg...

An individual's genetic background affects their emotional behavior and response to stress. Although studies have been conducted to identify genetic predictors for emotional behavior or stress response, it remains unknown how prior stress history alters the interaction between an individual's genome and their emotional behavior. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to identify chromosomal re...
