Aim: The relation between cognition and emotion has always been interesting for researchers. Although they are separate domains, they interact with each other. The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of shame and guilt emotions on phonological loop and visuSpatial Sketchpad of Working Memory. Method: A quasi-experimental pretest-posttest design was applied in this research. Sixty university students were selected through convenience sampling. Adult Wechsler test (digit span Test) and corsi blocks task were used for data collection. Results: The results of covariance analysis showed that shame and guilt emotions significantly affected phonological loop and visual-spatial working memory. Conclusion: Shame and Guilt Emotions can negative influence on working memory performance.
