Researchers investigate how emotional dynamics transform experiences into memorable events.
By Dr. Priyom Bose, Ph.D.Oct 20 2023Reviewed by Benedette Cuffari, M.Sc. A recent Nature Communications study investigates how emotional dynamics transform experiences into memorable events.
For many years, scientists have been interested in discerning and characterizing the factors associated with the organization of episode memory. Although many studies have investigated how emotional experiences are transformed into the most enduring and prominent memory, few studies have analyzed the role of emotions in shaping memory structures.
About the study The current study aimed to understand the impact of dynamic emotional shifts in organizing distinct and memorable events. To this end, the researchers hypothesized that emotional dynamics might serve as another context form that can bind or separate adjacent episodes into contextually distinct memories.
Study findings After day one of the study, nine participants failed to complete the task and six participants did not meet the inclusion criteria of above 50% accuracy on temporal memory performance. The remaining 81 participants were subjected to the day two task, after which 72 participants successfully completed memory tasks and progressed to memory analysis.
