More specifically, the contributors focus on the potential mediating effects of attention and of executive processes of working memory.

This Special Issue is concerned with the effects of three emotional states (positive affect; anxiety; and depression) on performance. More specifically, the contributors focus on the potential mediating effects of attention and of executive processes of working memory.
