Negative emotional events retroactively disrupt semantic scaffolding of temporal-order memory
Emotional responses pervade everyday life and exert temporally extended effects on cognition. Prior work shows that these modulatory effects of emotion on memory are highly selective, with semantic overlap helping to determine which nearby neutral details are prioritized in long-term memory. Although this has been demonstrated in item recognition, less is known about how emotion interacts with semantic information to influence temporal-order memo…
Emotional arousal lingers in time to bind discrete episodes in memory
Temporal stability and change in neutral contexts can transform continuous experiences into distinct and memorable events. However, less is known about how shifting emotional states influence these memory processes, despite ample evidence that emotion impacts non-temporal aspects of memory. Here, we examined if emotional stimuli influence temporal memory for recent event sequences. Participants encoded lists of neutral images while listening to a…
Effortful retrieval of semantic memories induces forgetting of related negative and neutral episodic memories
Does social rigidity predict cognitive rigidity? Profiles of socio-cognitive polarization
Going Viral
In times of uncertainty, people often seek out information to help alleviate fear, possibly leaving them vulnerable to false information. During the COVID-19 pandemic, we attended to a viral spread of incorrect and misleading information that compromised collective actions and public health measures to contain the spread of the disease. We investigated the influence of fear of COVID-19 on social and cognitive factors including believing in fake n…
