Emotions on people’s cognitive reasoning activities have a significant impact. However,previous researches were not involved in different intensity of positive and negative emotionson the analogical reasoning influence, and the study has just stayed in the surface of theemotional state. It can’t explore the difference and reason more deeply. A few about theinfluence of emotions on reasoning of empirical research, provided the conclusions are notuniform that have promote and inhibit respectively. But in the final analysis, the crux of theargument is that reasoning was affected by emotion, and the objective is to better help peopleto guide and solve the problems of the real world. Therefore, this study will test the influenceof dissimilar emotion states on analogical reasoning,and that explores the influence ofdifferent of emotion intensity on the analogical reasoning.This research includes three experiments. First, it is study the influence of the differentemotion state on analogical reasoning. And then the experiment is research their reactionabout analogical reasoning on the dissimilar emotion intensity in positive emotion, to look forthe contact between emotion intensity and analogical reasoning. In the experiment,considering the analogical reasoning own factors, this study was compared with two kinds ofmaterial type, graphics analogical reasoning and words analogical reasoning. In addition, thestudy also considering the effect of gender differences。In experiment one; we divide emotion in to three parts which are positive, negative andneutral. And In experiment two and three; we divide emotion intensity into high strengthgroup and low strength group. All in all the groups test the analogical reasoning testing.According to the different group, before the test to watch the different types of emotionalstarting materials, affective priming and evaluation, and discusses the contact betweenemotional states and strength and analogical reasoning.Three experiments are discussing the experimental results by the physiologicaldifferences of the brain cognitive and brain structure. After analyzing the results, we concludethat:(1) In analogical reasoning, positive mood state help to promote the analogical reasoning activities, the analogical reasoning is restrain by negative emotional state to a certain extent.(2) In positive emotions state of the analogical reasoning, low intensity of emotionalstate analogical reasoning is better than high strength and neutral emotional states (that is noemotional state), the results show that the neutral emotional state is beneficial to people’sanalogical reasoning activities.(3) In negative emotion state of the analogical reasoning, low intensity of emotional stateanalogical reasoning is better than high strength, but compared with neutral state is inferior. Itshows that negative emotion under the different strength state has played a inhibition, just lowintensity state slightly better.
