“…Some researchers found better memory for contextual features of emotional items (e.g., Doerksen & Shimamura, 2001;Mather & Nesmith, 2008;Nashiro & Mather, 2011) and neutral items embedded in arousing contexts (e.g., Guillet & Arndt, 2009;Pierce & Kensinger, 2011), whereas others found impairments in memory performance (e.g., Bisby & Burgess, 2014;Nashiro & Mather, 2011;Rimmele, Davachi, Petrov, Dougal, & Phelps, 2011;Touryan, Marian, & Shimamura, 2007) or no effects (e.g., Koenig & Mecklinger, 2008; when retrieving emotional, relative to neutral, contextual source information (e.g., paired words, background scenes or features). Smith, Dolan, and Rugg (2004) explored ERPs related to immediate recognition of emotionally neutral objects associated with emotional and nonemotional background scenes.…”
