Abstract

Objectives: This study aims to identify the effects of general and emotional working memory on producing false memories related to emotional events. The sample consisted of (90) volunteers from Yarmouk University.

Methods: To achieve the objectives of the study, a general working memory test was used, and two tests were developed to measure emotional working memory and false memory related to emotional events.

Results: The results of the study showed that there were statistically significant differences (α = 0.05) in the means of false memory related to emotional events according to the level of general working memory, where students with low levels of general working memory produced more false memories than students with high levels of general working memory. The results did not show significant differences (α = 0.05) between false memory of positive or negative emotional events according to students' gender or emotional memory level. In addition, there were no statistically significant differences at the significance level (α = 0.05) for false memory of positive or negative events according to the level of positive or negative emotional working memory.

Conclusions: The study made several recommendations, the most important of which is the importance of paying attention to the use of emotions, especially by teachers, university professors, and those who interrogate during the presence of problems because it helps to reduce false memory according to the results of this study.
