Learning and emotion are deeply intertwined processes that significantly impact human cognition and behavior. Emotions, such as excitement, fear, or curiosity, play a crucial role in learning by influencing attention, motivation, and memory formation. When individuals experience positive emotions during learning, such as enjoyment or satisfaction, they are more likely to engage deeply with the material, leading to better retention and understanding. Conversely, negative emotions like anxiety or boredom can impair learning by diverting attention and reducing cognitive resources available for encoding information. The relationship between learning and emotion underscores the importance of creating supportive learning environments that foster positive emotional experiences. By acknowledging and managing emotions effectively in educational settings, educators and learners alike can optimize learning outcomes and enhance overall learning experiences. This book consists of contributions made by international experts. Most of the topics introduced in this book cover new understandings of learning and emotion. Scientists and students actively engaged in psychology will find this book full of crucial and unexplored concepts.
