The study used non-emotional pictures only.<br /><br />It is curious that the researchers want to apply this study to eyewitness accounts. What are the chances that an eyewitness to a murder or a violent accident or crime would have a non-emotional memory of the event?<br /><br />The study’s exclusion of emotional memories especially calls into doubt that the “finding” that “..stronger reliving improved memory..” would also apply to reliving of emotional memories.<br /><br />The researchers did not include in this study the portions of the feeling brain, other than the hippocampus, that would likely participate in the reliving of emotional memories.<br /><br />The researchers thus have too narrow a basis for a finding about “memory” that could apply across the entire spectrum of what can be termed “memory.”<br /><br />http://surfaceyourrealself.com/2015/02/02/problematic-research-on-memory-surfaceyourrealself/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
