Marzouki, YB., Gullstrrand, J., Goujon, A. & Fagot, J. (2014). Baboons’ response speed is biased by their moods. PLOS one. July 25, 2014   Abstract – The affect-as-information hypothesis (e.g., Schwarz & Clore, 2003), predicts that the positive or negative valence of our mood differentially affects our processing of the details of the environment. However, […]
