People in positive feeling state more likely to retrieve positive material from memory
Term
Automatic Processing
Definition
SNYDER AND POSNER - affect may be subject to this. theories that effects of mood on judgment are determined by retrieval processes, so if there were no positive memories of something, positive feeling state would do nothing with evaluation of it
