Mental Construal and Alterations in Emotional Memory
… Investigating how construal levels affect emotional memories may provide more insight into how individuals may potentially alter the recall of their memories. The current study reflects a new examination of the effect of primed high and low construal levels on the recall of positive and …

Emotional Memory: Examining Differences in Retrieval Methods
<p>Emotional information is generally remembered better than non-emotional information, especially when the emotional information is highly arousing. Priority Binding Theory has grown out of several years worth of research on memory and emotion. The theory proposes that in mixed lists comprised of …

Emotional Memory: The Effects of Temporal Pressure on Episodic Memory
… neutral stimulus. This results in more accurate memory for negative images presented in mixed lists. However, in slow presentation rates, binding occurs equally for all items. Therefor, no such advantage is predicted comparing images presented in lists of the same valence. This study examined the …

The Relationship Between Affect in Dreams and Emotional Memory Consolidation
… in various neurocognitive processes such as memory consolidation, however, an area that has not been fully researched is the role of dreaming in these memory processes. This study aimed to determine the relationship between affect experienced in dreams and emotional memory consolidation. …

Effects of augmentation agents on emotional memory consolidation and subliminal cue exposure to fear-relavent stimuli
… mechanisms of action of cognitive enhancers in memory consolidation and extinction learning. Study 1 examined the effect of DCS and cortisone, another cognitive enhancer, on emotional memory consolidation in a nonclinical sample to investigate the effect of these augmentation agents on emotional …

Understanding the Role of the Ventrolateral Prefrontal Cortex in Emotional Memory using Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation and Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation
<p>Emotional stimuli can have both beneficial and detrimental effects on memory, such that emotional stimuli can be distracting from current neutral working memory goals, while also leading to enhanced episodic memory for the distracting emotional stimuli. Recent evidence suggests that the …

THE ROLE OF SLEEP IN THE ENHANCEMENT AND IMPEDANCE OF EPISODIC EMOTIONAL MEMORIES
… examined whether sleep enhances the retention of emotionally arousing memories, and whether an emotional memory can be blocked with a single night of sleep deprivation. Using a modified version of a slide show varying in emotionality with respect to the narrative (participants' acting as either a …

Targeted read-out, analysis, and control to elucidate dynamic-emotional processing
… sub-regions at times critical to the recall of emotional memory.

The functional neurophysiological sequelae associated with high frequency dream recallers
… proposing increased DRF as a product of a better memory for dreams. Results from recent studies support this model by demonstrating longer periods of intra-sleep wakefulness in high frequency recallers (HFRs) compared to low frequency recallers (LFRs). Furthermore, results showed heightened brain …

Associations between sleep and cognitive-affective functioning in Posttraumatic Stress Disorder
… effects on the processing of neutral declarative memory, emotional memory, and emotional reactivity. Research spanning multiple neuroscientific literatures demonstrates that healthy, uninterrupted sleep is critical for memory consolidation and emotional regulation, and that PTSD-diagnosed …

A critical documentation of Mavis Taylor's teaching of improvisation
… the concepts and practice of sensory and emotional memory training. The significance of teaching structure and form as a method for students to manipulate the medium of improvisation is argued, proposing that the creation of alternative meanings and 'realities' is the essence of acting.

Functional characterization of Phosphodiesterase-4A in behavior and obesity
… as depression, anxiety, and senescent-induced memory loss are a growing pandemic in the world. Anxiety is the most common psychiatric disorder in America, affecting upwards of 50 million people a year; depression has a lifetime prevalence of 20% of the population, and it's predicted …

Neurobiologically-motivated treatments for post-traumatic stress disorder in an animal model
… amygdala (BLA), a brain region involved in emotional memory and altered by stress, suggesting a direct action of ghrelin at ghrelin receptors in the BLA. Administration of a ghrelin receptor inverse-agonist concurrent with stress exposure prevented stress-induced enhancement of fear …

The role of recursive remindings on memory updating of emotional stimuli
It has been argued that emotional memories are harder to update than neutral memories (Novak & Mather, 2009; Sakaki, Niki, & Mather, 2012) and that the cause is that emotional memories are subject to greater levels of proactive interference. This explanation was questioned in this paper and another …

'Remember me': Domestic textiles in Britain, 1790-1890: Memory, identity and emotion
… Me”. Domestic Textiles in Britain 1790–1890: Memory, Identity and Emotion’ presents items of domestic needlework as objects of selfhood, akin to life writing. These often-overlooked objects reveal how makers sought to be remembered by their contemporaries, and how they passed objects between …

Decoding the emotional modulation of memory encoding: a multivariate fmri study of arousal and valence
Emotional events are often remembered better than neutral ones, yet the distinct contributions of valence (positive/negative) and arousal (calm/exciting) to the neural patterns supporting memory encoding are not fully understood. We leveraged multivariate pattern analysis (MVPA) to dissociate these …
