Detailed explanation-1: -Canli found an association between individual experiences of emotional intensity for stimuli with amygdala activation and memory. The more emotionally intense an image is, the more likely it will be remembered. This provides evidence to explain why people remember emotionally intense experiences well.
Detailed explanation-2: -CONCLUSION OF CANLI ET AL From the study by Canli et al., it can be concluded that there is a relationship between emotional intensity of stimuli and memory. it suggests that the more emotionally intense a stimulus is . the better it would be remember.
Detailed explanation-3: -Canli et al (1999) found strong amygdala activation to resulted in improved memorization for the causing stimuli. He wanted to replicate his study with repeated measures design rather than independent to make sure that the initial results were not due to chance.
Detailed explanation-4: -The amygdala is commonly thought to form the core of a neural system for processing fearful and threatening stimuli (4), including detection of threat and activation of appropriate fear-related behaviors in response to threatening or dangerous stimuli.
