Affect as information about liking, efficacy, and importance. (2006, background): “For example, positive affective cues appear to trigger assimilation, top-down, or theory-driven processing, whereas negative affect elicits accommodation, bottom-up, or data-driven processing (e.g., Clore et al, 2001; Fiedler, 2001).”
International handbook of emotions in education. (2014, background): “That is, mood influences are strongest for heuristic and constructive processing strategies as compared to motivated processing and direct access (Fiedler, 2001b; Forgas, 1995).”
The role of emotions in complex problem solving (2005, background): “Positive affect leads to flexible and creative thinking (Fiedler, 2001; Isen, Daubman, & Nowicki, 1987), and also facilitates efficient decision-making in more complex environments (e.g., making a medical diagnosis; Isen, 2001).”
The Influence of Affect on Attitude (2005, background): “They confer value on the processor's own constructive efforts (Fiedler, 2001) and cue a relational orientation, in which people process incoming information in relation to accessible cognitions and general knowledge structures (Bless & Fiedler, 1995).”
Don’t Worry, Be Sad! On the Cognitive, Motivational, and Interpersonal Benefits of Negative Mood (2013, unknown): “In contrast, negative mood signals a new or challenging situation calling for externally focused, bottom-up and accommodative processing in which people follow social norms and attend to concrete stimuli to interpret the situation (Bless & Fiedler, 2006; Fiedler, 2001; Forgas, 2002, 2010).”
Achievement Goals and Achievement Emotions: Testing a Model of Their Joint Relations with Academic Performance. (2009, background): “Furthermore, because positive affect has been shown to induce concept-driven, flexible ways of thinking rather than careful bottom-up processing (Fiedler, 2001), it may also be that enjoyment inhibits attending to the rote-level learning that is often necessary for successful performance on tasks su”
How positive affect modulates cognitive control: reduced perseveration at the cost of increased distractibility. (2004, unknown): “Fiedler (2001) further assumes that positive affect modulates the balance between an accommodative processing style, which conserves input information , and an assimilative style, which transforms input information in the light of existing knowledge.”
Detecting and constructing meaning in life events (2009, background): “…support the contention that the detection and construction of meaning in events fit into the larger framework of research on mood and cognition, which has identified positive affect with top-down processing and negative affect with bottom-up processing (Bless, 2001; Fiedler, 2001; Schwarz, 2002).”
The nature of awe: Elicitors, appraisals, and effects on self-concept (2007, background): “…previous studies suggest that positive mood facilitates knowledge-driven information processing, relative to neutral or negative mood (e.g., Bless et al., 1996a; Bless, Mackie & Schwarz, 1992; Bless, Schwarz, & Wieland, 1996b; Bodenhausen, Kramer, & Süsser, 1994; Fiedler, 2001; Forgas, 1998).”
Inspired to Create: Awe Enhances Openness to Learning and the Desire for Experiential Creation (2018, unknown): “Accommodation refers to processes that occur when people detect a discrepancy between an encountered stimulus and their existing mental schemas or knowledge and must revise or create new schemas to account for the discrepancy (Fiedler 2001; Keltner and Haidt 2003; Piaget 1970).”
Dynamics of affective states during complex learning (2012, unknown): “All rights reserved. referential processing (Clore & Huntsinger, 2007; Fielder, 2001; Fredrickson & Branigan, 2005; Isen, 2008; Schwarz, in press).”
