Intense emotions are easier to remember

Intense emotions are easier to remember

A research study by Florin Dolcos and his colleagues at the Duke University reveals that when our emotions are aroused, the brain takes note. It stores as much detail as possible about the emotion-filled event, wiring it for quick recall.

The results show that the amygdala and the hippocampus, regions of our brains that successfully encode emotional memories play a role not only for successful storing of the memories, but also for their successful retrieval.

Therefore, the stronger the emotion, the easier it is to remember.

Best app ever! You heard it right. This app has helped me get back on my quest to get things done while equipping myself with knowledge everyday.

Ashley Anthony

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

Sean Green

Great interesting short snippets of informative articles. Highly recommended to anyone who loves information and lacks patience.

Jamyson Haug

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!

Giovanna Scalzone
