Abstract

 
The current research aimed at identifying the effect of: attention (total-divided) and mood (positive-negative-neutral) on verbal and gist memory in the light of Deese-Roediger-McDermott (DRM) paradigm, besides identifying the effect of  interaction between them on both verbal and gist memory of fourth year students in faculty of education, elementary section, in Beni-Suef  (n=217; 89 males and 128 females). The quasi-experimental method was used. Research tools included; 9 lists (3 positive- 3 negative- 3 neutral) of (Roediger, Watson, et al., 2001) lists adapted by Mohamed Hussein Said (2015-b); beside recognition and mood tests developed by the researcher. Multivariate analysis of  variance MANOVA  with design 3(mood: positive-neutral-negative)×2(attention:  total-divided), Scheffe multiple comparisons, and effect size. Research results revealed: 1- the existence of significant effect at 0.01 of mood on verbal and gist memory (for positive and negative word lists); as students with positive mood memorized (verbal and gist memory) higher positive words than students with negative mood, whereas students with positive mood memorized negative words lower than students with negative mood, whereas there wasn't significant effect of  mood on memorizing neutral word lists. 2- the existence of significant effect at 0.01 of attention           (total-divided) in verbal and gist memory (for positive, neutral and negative word lists); as students with totalattention memorized (verbal memory) higher positive, neutral and negative words than students with divided attention, whereas students with divided attention memorized (gist memory) positive, neutral and negative words lower than students with totalattention. 3- The non-existence of  significant effect of the interaction between attention and mood on verbal memory of positive, neutral, and negative word lists of DRM; the non-existence of  significant effect of the interaction between attention and mood on gist memory of neutral word lists of DRM, whereas there was significant effect of interaction between attention and mood in gist memory of positive and negative word lists of DRM.
