Remembering the Details: Effects of Emotion (2009, background): “When they were affectively focused—deciding whether to approach a potentially threatening scene—they showed a robust memory trade-off, whereas when they were guided to be non-affectively focused—describing the scene for an artist—the magnitude of the trade-off was reduced (Kensinger et al., 2007b).”
Emotion and memory narrowing: A review and goal-relevance approach (2009, methodology): “Kensinger et al. (2007a) had people view pictures of an emotionally aversive object against a neutral background (e.g., a snake by a river) and pictures of a neutral object against a neutral background (e.g., a chipmunk in a forest).”
Stress enhances emotional memory-related theta oscillations in the medial temporal lobe (2021, result): “…of memory based on emotional salience after stress, which is generally in line with earlier findings suggesting that stress or arousal may not only enhance memory for central features of an episode but also reduce memory for more peripheral information (Kalbe et al., 2020; Kensinger et al., 2007).”
