Is remembering emotional information an involuntary/unconscious process or is it related to voluntary conscious retrieval?
Memory for emotional material (events, pictures and words) has been shown to be superior than memory for neutral material in explicit memory tests of recall and recognition. If the memory advantage for emotional stimuli is an automatic, involuntary/unconscious process, this effect should be present in tests of implicit memory. We compared results from two tests of memory identical in all respects apart from retrieval instructions.
