Although it is widely known that memory is enhanced when encoding and retrieval occur in the same state, the impact of elevated stress/arousal is less understood. This study explores mood-dependent memory's effects on visual recognition and recall of material memorized either in a neutral mood or under higher stress/arousal levels. Participants' (N = 60) recognition and recall were assessed while they experienced either the same o a mismatched mood at retrieval. The results suggested that both visual recognition and recall memory were higher when participants experienced the same mood at encoding and retrieval compared with those who experienced a mismatch in mood context between encoding and retrieval. These findings offer support for a mood dependency effect on both the recognition and recall of visual information.
虽然人们普遍知道在相同的状态下进行编码和检索可以增强记忆，但对于升高的应激/唤醒水平的影响了解较少。本研究探讨了情绪依赖记忆对在中性情绪或更高的应激/唤醒水平下记忆的材料的视觉识别和回忆的影响。参与者（N=60）在回忆时经历相同或不匹配的情绪时，评估了他们的识别和回忆。结果表明，与在编码和检索时经历情绪不匹配的参与者相比，当参与者在编码和检索时经历相同的情绪时，视觉识别和回忆记忆都更高。这些发现为情绪对视觉信息的识别和回忆都有影响提供了支持。
