Negative affect impairs associative memory but not item memory.
The formation of associations between items and their context has been proposed to rely on mechanisms distinct from those supporting memory for a single item. Although emotional experiences can profoundly affect memory, our understanding of how it interacts with different aspects of memory remains unclear. We performed three experiments to examine the effects of emotion on memory for items and ...
متن کاملDivided attention selectively impairs memory for self-relevant information.
Information that is relevant to oneself tends to be remembered more than information that relates to other people, but the role of attention in eliciting this "self-reference effect" is unclear. In the present study, we assessed the importance of attention in self-referential encoding using an ownership paradigm, which required participants to encode items under conditions of imagined ownership...
متن کاملSleep deprivation selectively impairs memory consolidation for contextual fear conditioning.
Many behavioral and electrophysiological studies in animals and humans have suggested that sleep and circadian rhythms influence memory consolidation. In rodents, hippocampus-dependent memory may be particularly sensitive to sleep deprivation after training, as spatial memory in the Morris water maze is impaired by rapid eye movement sleep deprivation following training. Spatial learning in the...
متن کاملThe effects of emotion and encoding strategy on associative memory.
Research has demonstrated that when discrete pieces of information are integrated together at encoding--imagining two items together as a single entity, for example--there is a mnemonic benefit for their relationship. A separate body of literature has indicated that the presence of emotional information can have an impact on the binding of associated neutral details, in some cases facilitating ...
متن کاملNeural correlates of associative memory: the effects of negative emotion.
We explored brain activation associated with negative emotionality, during an associative memory task that involved the encoding and retrieval of word pairs. Participants were instructed to memorize word pairs and subsequently retrieve them. The word pairs consisted of either emotional or neutral words. Significant hippocampal activation was observed during both encoding and retrieval of the ne...
