In the introduction section of this research, lab assistant reviewed the emotional theory and experimentation with cognitive research, then, this research introduced some recent laboratorial research. Finally, in the conclusion section, the research illustrated the purpose of this research. This research is designed on 3 experiments, the contents of respective cognitive tasks of those three experiments are below:1) The task of identification of Chinese words' structures2) The task of again to identify English words3) Visual taskBefore the assignments started, the experiments adopted themethod what was named "games inspire emotion" to inspire the emotionto the relevant emotional state, whereafter, the assignments turned intothe task-phase. The experimental results improved the conclusions below:a) We can obtain the different emotional state by games whatwe cannot obtain by lab, it also means that the method of "gamesinspire emotion" is feasible.During the task of identification of Chinese words' structures, the speed to finished this assignment by negative emotional group is faster than by positive emotional group or control group; but the accuracy of positive emotional group is higher than negative emotional group, thenegative emotional group is higher than control group, whether the accuracy or speed, all of the 3 groups are not have any obvious difference. During the task of again to identify English words, the positive emotional group is the fastest group among 3 groups, further more, the accuracy of the positive emotional group is also the highest group among 3 groups. On the point of speed to finish this task, three groups have obvious differences, but there was not any obvious difference on the accuracy. In the Visual assignment, the speed to finished this assignment by positive emotional group is faster than by negative emotional group or control group, but the accuracy of positive emotional group is the lowest group among 3 groups. Three groups have an obvious difference on the speed to finish this assignment, but there is not obvious difference on their accuracies. To sum up, the different emotional states have different affects on the different identification tasks' styles, we cannot say that it is certain that the positive emotion can take an observe positive affect on cognition.
