query: What is the relationship between evoking emotional states and enhancing the probability of remembering an event?
answer: Evoking the emotional state experienced during the initial processing of an event enhances the probability of remembering that event. This is related to mood-congruence effects and mood-state dependent retrieval, where recall is easier when the current emotional state matches that at encoding.
