Age-Related Differences in How Fear, Disgust, and Sadness Influence Strategic Aspects of Arithmetic Performance.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
How different negative emotions influence cognitive processes in general, and arithmetic in particular, remains poorly understood, and even less is known about how these effects change with aging in adulthood. The present study investigated whether disgust, fear, and sadness exert distinct effects on strategy selection and execution in arithmetic, and whether these effects vary across the adult lifespan. Young and older participants were asked to choose between two strategies (Experiment 1) and to execute instructed strategies (Experiment 2) to estimate the products of two-digit multiplication problems. Interestingly, how fear, disgust, and sadness influence strategy selection and strategy execution differed in young and older adults. Discrete negative emotions differentially influenced strategic aspects of arithmetic performance in young adults, whereas none modulated strategy selection or execution in older adults. These findings have important implications for furthering our understanding of emotion-cognition interactions as well as age-related changes in these interactions.
