Negative emotion reduces autobiographical memory’s susceptibility to change
Autobiographical memories, the memories we have of our personal past, change over time as content is forgotten or added to the original memory trace. While decades of research has demonstrated the augmenting effect emotion can have on memory, even memories for very negative experiences seem to be susceptible to change. However, it is unclear whether or not negative emotion in day-to-day life might protect everyday memories from distortion. Here, …
The relationship between environmentally induced emotion and memory for a naturalistic virtual experience
306) subsamples and viewed a desktop virtual environment before rating their emotions and completing objective (i.e. item, temporal-order, duration) and subjective (e.g. vividness, sensory detail, coherence) memory measures. In both samples, a Partial Least Squares Correlation analysis showed that an emotional state characterised by high negative emotion (i.e. threat, fear, anxiety) and arousal was reliably associated with better memory in both o…
Social cues tip the scales in emotional processing of complex pictures
Simulating the best and worst of times
We are remarkably capable of simulating events that we have never experienced. These simulated events often paint an emotional picture to behold, such as the best and worst possible outcomes that we might face. This review synthesises dispersed literature exploring the role of emotion in simulation. Drawing from work that suggests that simulations can influence our preferences, decision-making, and prosociality, we argue for a critical role of em…
Episodic memory through a social and emotional lens
Negative emotion enhances item memory but may reduce associative memory. Social information may also enhance memory, yet how social and emotional cues combine to affect memory for focal and surrounding details is unknown. Gender differences may also exist, but whether women and men encode and remember negative and social information differently is unclear. This study examines how social information contributes to or interacts with emotion to infl…
