RETHINKING THE EMOTIONAL BRAIN (2012, unknown): “Modulators also facilitate processing areas involved in retrieving forming, and storing memories (McGaugh, 2003; Roozendaal et al., 2009).”
Essentials of a Theory of Language Cognition (2019, background): “The richness can come from depth of processing (Craik & Lockhart, 1972; Lockhart, 2002) along the 4E dimensions listed here, and it can be enhanced through emotional content too (McGaugh, 2003).”
Adaptive Memory: Evolutionary Constraints on Remembering (2010, background): “Such an account would be consistent with an evolutionary locus—that is, nature solved the adaptive problem of remembering fitness-relevant information indirectly by linking memory to emotional arousal (e.g., McGaugh, 2003, 2006).”
When a trauma becomes a key to identity: Enhanced integration of trauma memories predicts posttraumatic stress disorder symptoms (2007, background): “THE THEORETICAL BACKGROUND FOR THE CENTRALITY OF EVENT SCALE The rationale underlying the CES takes its starting point in the fact that distinctive and emotional events usually are highly accessible and vividly remembered compared to more mundane experiences (Hunt & McDaniel, 1993; McGaugh, 2003).”
What do animal signals mean (2009, background): “It is likely that these reflexive responses provide critical scaffolding for learning about predators, because the same circuits that connect the auditory periphery to brainstem regions regulating overall arousal also link directly to the amygdala and hippocampus (LeDoux 2000; McGaugh 2003).”
Memory, history and the claims of the past (2008, background): “…kinds of emotional memory, but most that I have seen is either concerned with extreme cases (e.g. traumatic memories) or with the effects of emotions on cognitive memory (see, for example, Bourtchouladze 2002; McGaugh 2003), not with the kind of memory involved in the retention of emotions.”
