emotion is a large part of trauma, especially near death experiences. the effect emotions have on memory in different instances is an integral part of the effect of trauma on memory. emotional events tend to be recalled with more frequency and clarity than memories not associated with extreme emotions. typically traumatic events, such as physical attack or sexual abuse, are interrelated with strong negative emotions, causing these memories to be very strong and more easily recalled than memories not associated with similar emotions, or even those connected to positive emotions. emotion's strong connection with memory also has to do with how much attention or focus an individual has on the event. if they are heavily emotionally involved in the event, a lot of their attention is directed at what's happening, rendering it a stronger memory. it is also the case with emotionally aroused situations that even if attention is limited, it is more likely that a memory associated with the strong emotion will remain as opposed to some neutral stimulus. chemically, this is because the emotional and physical stress caused by traumatic events creates an almost identical stimulation in the brain to the physiological condition that heightens memory retention. it excites the neuron-chemical activity centers of the brain that affects memory encoding and recollection. this reaction has been enforced by evolution as learning from high-stress environments is necessary in "fight or flight" decisions that characterize human survival.
