Dear Colleagues,

Working memory is a core component of memory storage and retrieval, also intervening in the processing of emotional information. As such, several aspects of working memory functioning have captured researchers’ attention. In particular, studies in different fields (e.g., clinical, neuroscientific, cognitive) have demonstrated that working memory affects the use of certain emotion regulation strategies, thus providing practical information for psychological intervention in healthy and clinical populations.

This Special Issue of Brain Sciences aims to collect a pool of articles providing innovative findings and insights into research focusing on the relationship between working memory and emotion regulation. Authors are encouraged to propose articles aiming to replicate and generalize prior findings as well as articles with innovative paradigms and approaches. In addition, due to the practical implications of this line of research, submissions of both theoretical and applicative articles are encouraged. The following topics -but not only are welcomed:

• Working memory and emotion regulation in non-clinical populations;
• Working memory and emotion regulation in clinical and forensic populations;
• Individual differences in working memory ability and emotion regulation;
• Working memory training and its effect on emotion regulation.

Therefore, we invite authors to submit their articles within the scope of this Special Issue.
