Foundations of Game-Based Learning (2015, background): “Virtually all elements of game design can be used to induce emotions, and empirical evidence suggests that positive emotions can broaden the scope of cognitive resources (Fredrickson & Branigan, 2005; Isen, 2002) and enhance learning outcomes (Plass et al.”

The motivational dimensional model of affect: Implications for breadth of attention, memory, and cognitive categorisation (2010, background): “This model was based largely on evidence that positive affect increases cognitive flexibility (see Isen, 2002, for a review).”
The Importance of Being Emotional : How do Emotions Affect Entrepreneurial Opportunity Evaluation and Exploitation? (2010, background): “Leaning on a wide-ranging body of psychological research, it has been denoted that emotions provoke strong effects on cognition (e.g., Forgas, 2000; Isen, 2002).”

Counterfactual Thinking and Entrepreneurial Self–Efficacy: The Moderating Role of Self–Esteem and Dispositional Affect (2013, background): “Recently, Baron (2008) and others have adopted a social cognition lens to suggest that attributes of personality exert “strong effects on cognition—the processes through which information is entered into memory, processed, and retrieved for later use” (p. 328; see also Forgas, 1995; Isen, 2002).”

Perceived control and emotions: interactive effects on performance in achievement settings (2008, background): “Existing research indicates that positive emotions can increase cognitive flexibility and learning, as well as improve psychological and physical health (e.g., Isen 2002; Lyubomirsky et al. 2005).”
Effects of Attribute Framing on Cognitive Processing and Evaluation (2004, background): “Furthermore, particularly within the affect-cognition literature, there is growing consensus that processing consequences of both negative and positive stimuli have distinct advantages (e.g., Forgas, 2002b; Isen, 2002).”
