AP PSYCHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -People who are in a positive mood are more likely to remember information presented to them, whereas people who are in a negative mood (i.e. sad or angry) are less likely to remember the information that is presented to them (Levine & Burgess, 1997).

Detailed explanation-2: -Cognitive psychology plays an important role in understanding the processes of memory, attention, and learning. It can also provide insights into cognitive conditions that may affect how people function.

Detailed explanation-3: -Just as the amygdala is involved in implicit emotional memory, the hippocampus is involved in explicit memory about emotional situations ( Figure 1). Thus, when emotionally aroused we form semantic and episodic memories about such situations.

Detailed explanation-4: -The study of emotional psychology allows researchers to dive into what makes humans react as they do to certain stimuli and how those reactions affect us both physically and mentally.
