Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Learning and Retention of Pleasant and Unpleasant Activities The present subject has sometimes been called the Rela tion Between Feeling and Memory, and it includes two prob lems which have not always been clearly distinguished from each other. In the first place, what is the relative efficiency Of memory for pleasant, as compared with unpleasant, feelings and emotions? Here the conscious and unconscious activities are the feelings and emotions themselves. This question Of affective memory will be considered in some detail at the end of the last section. A large number Of psychological activities are not feelings or emotions, but they may still be pleasant or unpleasant; and the second problem is concerned with the relative efficiency Of memory for pleasant activities as compared with memory for unpleasant activities; or, stated in more Objective terms, what is the relative efficiency of learning and retaining pleas ant activities as compared with unpleasant? We shall be principally concerned with this second problem in the present paper. It is closely related to all of the problems Of learning, retention, and reproduction; and the role of the emotional factor is the Obj ect of as special an interest now as it was when it was first propounded several centuries ago. Although psychological problems were only of secondary interest to the earlier philosophical writers, the following brief reference to some of their speculations will show how far back into the past the roots Of our subject extend. Certain of these early philosophical views have had a marked in uence on the trend of modern discussions.

Book excerpt: Affect and Memory: A Reformulation presents the hypothetical concepts involved in understanding the affect-memory relationship from a new perspective.

In the second chapter, the book details the problem in the affect-memory relationship. The third chapter presents the main characteristics of ""the intensity of perceived affect hypothesis."" The next two chapters detail empirical studies that provide evidence of the role of intensity of perceived affect in selective memory. The last chapter of the text talks about the integrative framework that explains the diverse findings stemming from contemporary work, and provides a guide to upcoming experimental research in the area of affect and selective memory. The book will be of great interest to researchers and practitioners of psychology, psychiatry, and neurology.
