The University of Massachusetts has just released a study linking memory to moods. So, maybe the fact that you can’t remember something has less to do with your age and more to do with your mood. At least that is what the study may be showing.
A poor memory may not always be an effect of aging, but instead may be an effect of moods, particularly depression, according to researchers from the psychology department at the University of Massachusetts. A study being conducted by Mark Weinberger, a graduate student, Rebecca Ready, assistant psychology professor and Susan Krauss Whitbourne, a psychology professor, is looking at the effects of mood and depression on cognition and memory.
