A person's cognitive processes can be influenced by their mood
state and emotions. This can have implications for an individual's
performance in a number of situations such as in the workplace,
sporting arena and educational settings. People who experience high
levels of anxiety have a tendency to engage in worry, or
interfering thoughts, that can impact on working memory
functioning. Because working memory plays an important role in
attentional processes particularly during the initial stages of
task learning, this book investigates the association between
anxiety and cognitive skill acquisition and transfer. The
association between state and trait anxiety, the intrusiveness of
off task thoughts and working memory capacity are explored in the
context of skill acquisition and transfer models.
