Emotions and their effect on learning

Abstract

© 2020, Universidad del Zulia. All rights reserved. The article aims to give a general overview of the link between emotions and learning, their impact on the learning process. Adults are believed not to be influenced by emotions as children, neither in their ability to direct their learning process. Emotions can help a person to remember details and at the same time distract them from the learning topic. This article presents different perspectives of negative and positive emotions in learning. Some research reveals the double character that these have, in that when they are positive they can have a negative impact and when they are negative they can positively influence learning.
