Blurring of emotional and non-emotional memories by taxing working memory during recall.

Poster presentation at annual meeting of Association for Psychological Science (APS), Washington DC, USA.
If memories are recalled while working memory is taxed, e.g., by making eye movements (EM), the recalled memories become blurred and remain blurred during later recall. This phenomenon may help to explain the effects of EMDR. Current study investigates the role of emotional arousal in these memory effects.
