 Across a number of studies, Kensinger and colleagues have demonstrated that emotional information tends to be remembered well, but the contextual information is remembered less well.This memory effect becomes exaggerated over delays that include sleep (e.g., Payne, Chambers, & Kensinger, 2012) and does not seem to be attributable merely to visual attention (e.g., Steinmetz & Kensinger, 2013).Kensinger and her colleagues have studied the effects of normal aging and Alzheimer's disease on emotional memory.
