Effects of Mood on Learning.
Hettena, Charlotte M.; Ballif, Bonnie L.
Journal of Educational Psychology, v73 n4 p505-08 Aug 1981

Results indicate that elated moods facilitate clear differentiation between pleasant and unpleasant sentences as well as remembering them, whereas depressed moods lead to indifferent evaluations.
