“…It is consistent with previous correlational findings showing that high-math anxious individuals have poorer performance than low-math individuals 21,22,[33][34][35] . The present findings are also consistent with previous results showing deleterious effects of negative emotions while adults accomplish many cognitive tasks in general [1][2][3] or solve arithmetic problems in particular 27,28,[30][31][32]50,51 . This study generalizes deleterious effects of negative emotions to 8-15 year-old participants and specifies how these effects change with age.…”

How do negative emotions influence arithmetic performance and how such influence changes with age during childhood? To address these issues, I used a within-trial emotion induction procedure while children solve arithmetic problems. More specifically, 8–15 year-old participants (N = 207) solved arithmetic problems (8 + 4 = 13. True? False?) that were displayed superimposed on emotionally negative or neutral pictures. The main results showed (a) poorer performance in emotionally negative conditions in all age groups, (b) larger deleterious effects of negative emotions on harder problems, (c) decreased effects of emotions as children grow older, and (d) sequential carry-over effects of emotions in all age groups such that larger decreased performance under emotion condition relative to neutral condition occurred on current trials immediately preceded by emotional trials. These findings have important implications for furthering our understanding of how emotions influence arithmetic performance in children and how this influence changes during childhood.

“…Priming sadness or fear in easy and moderately difficult tasks leads to stronger effort‐related responses in the cardiovascular system than priming happiness or anger (e.g., Chatelain & Gendolla, ; Framorando & Gendolla, ; Gendolla & Silvestrini, ; Lasauskaite, Gendolla, & Silvestrini, ). By contrast, when people work on objectively difficult tasks, these affect prime effects are inversed: Happiness and anger primes generate stronger cardiovascular reactivity than sadness and fear primes (e.g., Chatelain, Silvestrini, & Gendolla, ; Framorando & Gendolla, ; Freydefont, Gendolla, & Silvestrini, ; Lasauskaite Schüpbach, Gendolla, & Silvestrini, ; Silvestrini & Gendolla, ; see also Blanchfield, Hardy, & Marcora, ; Silvestrini, ). This is because people use all available information to comply with the resource conservation principle.…”

Based on the Implicit‐Affect‐Primes‐Effort model, we tested whether the effect of implicitly processed affect primes on cardiovascular responses is limited to settings that call for effort and in which implicit affect can inform about subjective task demand. Participants were presented with letter series and briefly flashed sadness versus happiness primes. Half of the participants were asked to memorize all occurring vowels (achievement context), while the other half merely watched the series (watching context). Responses of cardiac pre‐ejection period, heart rate, and systolic and diastolic blood pressure supported the predictions. As expected, in the challenging achievement‐context condition, happiness primes led to stronger cardiovascular reactivity than sadness primes. By contrast, reactivity was modest in both affect prime conditions when the participants merely watched the stimuli. That is, the impact of affect primes on cardiovascular responses was limited to a setting that directly called for effort mobilization.
