Read the attached chapter (Plous, 1993) and article (McNally & Geraerts, 2009) and answer the following questions:

a) Describe how emotion influences memory for details and how non-emotional events are remembered.

b) There has been a great deal of controversy on whether Freud’s theory of repressed memory is even possible. That is, in many laboratory studies the phenomenon of repressed memory cannot be seen. Why would that be the case?

c) With your knowledge from the chapter, imagine how you might be able to help students remember important parts of your
lectures (if you are teaching) or how you can help yourself remember topics.
