- Concealing
emotions hampers memory of distressing situations:
Psychologists Jane Richards, PhD, of the University of
Washington, and James Gross, PhD, of Stanford University, have discovered
that two common strategies for regulating emotions differ in how they
affect people's memory for upsetting events. When people try to keep
negative emotions from showing--a strategy that Richards and Gross
call "expressive suppression"--their memory for emotional situations
suffers as a result. That's not the case, the researchers found, when
people use an approach called "reappraisal," reconstruing emotional
events as less upsetting--for example, framing an upcoming test as
a challenge rather than as a threat. (original

- Memories
Become Labile Whenever They Are Retrieved: Neuroscientists
at NYU's Center for Neural Science have discovered evidence that contradicts
entrenched psychological and neurobiological models of memory. Karim
Nader, Glenn E. Schafe and Joseph E. LeDoux have revealed that the
storage and retrieval of long-term memories of fearful experiences
are surprisingly unstable. Nader and colleagues found that long-term
memories become labile (that is, chemically unstable) every time they
are retrieved. In this labile state, long-term memories can be easily
altered or disrupted. Furthermore, the researchers found that once
a long-term memory is retrieved, it cannot be stored without the synthesis
of new proteins. (original
