Emotional reactions to music in a nationally representative sample of Swedish adults (2011, background): “Also, as could be expected from previous studies of emotion and memory (for an overview, see Reisberg & Heuer, 2004, Ch. 1), intensity was rated higher the farther back in time the recalled emotional episode had occurred: “within the last 24 hours” (M = 5.16, SD = 1.21), “within the last month” (M…”
Source monitoring 15 years later: What have we learned from fMRI about the neural mechanisms of source memory? (2009, background): “…ratings), and objective accuracy of details (e.g., source memory; for reviews and discussion of behavioral findings, see, e.g., Christianson, 1992; Reisberg & Heuer, 2004; for reviews that also discuss specific neural underpinnings of these differences, see e.g., Kensinger & Schacter, 2008a;…”
Aging and the Intersection of Cognition, Motivation, and Emotion (2006, background): “Many studies with younger adults indicate that memory is enhanced for emotionally arousing elements of a scene but impaired for peripheral details of arousing scenes (for reviews, see Cahill & McGaugh, 1998; McGaugh, 2000; Reisberg & Heuer, 2004).”
Remembering the Details: Effects of Emotion (2009, background): “There are a number of related theories suggesting that the effects of emotional arousal on memory may be best characterized by focal enhancements (e.g., Buchanan & Adolphs, 2002; Mather, 2007; Reisberg & Heuer, 2004).”
Emotion and Memory Research: A Grumpy Overview (2004, background): “…that emotional events are remembered better, it is because they tend to be novel, distinctive, or interesting, and well-rehearsed (e.g., Brewer, 1992; Finkenauer et al., 1998; McCloskey, Wible, & Cohen, 1988; Talarico & Rubin, 2003; for reviews, see Schooler & Eich, 2000; Shobe & Kihlstrom, 1997).”
Arousal-biased competition in perception and memory (2011, unknown): “Arousal also amplifies the effects of directed attention toward one target stimulus or location (Phelps et al., 2006; Schupp et al., 2007), consistent with the ABC hypothesis that arousal enhances the effects of top–down relevance.”
Emotion and memory narrowing: A review and goal-relevance approach (2009, background): “…accounts for the fact that memory narrowing is reliably found when laboratory stimuli include shocking sensory images, such as a bloody face, weapon, or accident scene, which serve as magnets for an emotionally aroused person’s attention (Laney et al., 2003, 2004; Reisberg & Heuer, 2004, 2007).”
Art Therapy for Combat-Related PTSD: Recommendations for Research and Practice (2006, background): “…nature of traumatic memories, which are encoded in implicit as well as declarative memory systems and are likely to exist primarily as dissociated emotional, perceptual, or sensory fragments with no coherent verbal, symbolic, or temporal basis (O’Kearney & Perrott, 2006; Reisberg & Hertel, 2004).”
