Memory Impairments Levinger & Clark (1961) Kleinsmith & Kaplan (1963; 1964) Kuehn (1974) Loftus & Burns (1982) Newhagen & Reeves (1992)

Summary Emotional arousal can facilitate memory – leading to ‘flashbulbs’ Emotional arousal can impair memory – leading to ‘functional amnesia’ Central details seem to be relatively spared, whilst peripheral details are perhaps more affected by emotional arousal The functional significance of memory perhaps explains the effect of emotion on recall.
