“…The idea being that increased arousal leads to a kind of cognitive focus or sharpness. This is true to a point; however, as expressed graphically in Figure 3, Revelle and Loftus (1990) have shown that the link between arousal and performance forms an inverted-U curve such that the optimal level of arousal is neither too high nor too low. Thus, instead of thinking of arousal in terms of optimum performance, they suggest a better association for arousal is emotional intensity.…”

(Maximum 200 words):Report developed under a STTR contract number DASW01-99-C-0037 entitled Emotional Synthetic Forces. The objective of this research was to make the decision-making process of complex agents less predictable and more realistic, by incorporating emotional factors that affect humans. To this end, researchers adopted an approach that promotes the emergence of behavior as a result of complex interactions between factors affecting emotions, integrated in a connectionist-style model, and factors affecting decision making, represented in a symbolic model.This report explains the model sub-components, integration, and testing, which includes a description of the behaviors we used in the development of prototype, the design of experiments, a representative set of behavior patterns that emerged as a result of exercising the model over the design space, and recommendations for future work. Results of prototype suggest an effective means of increasing the variability of computer-generated forces (CGF) behavior in manner consistent with modern day emotional theories.

Instead, by treating these traditionally separate investigations concurrently, it is possible to observe the contribution of each approach in relation to others in understanding the larger question of the role of affect and memory in retrospective reports.…”

“…Although no satisfactory evidence for this hypothesis itself exists, and the hypermnesia in the high-arousal condition is not always obtained, there is considerable evidence from a wide variety of procedures and materials that supports the interaction of arousal and time delay on memory (cf. Baddeley, 1990;Eysenck, 1982;Revelle & Loftus, 1990).…”

“…We know that the match in arousal at encoding and retrieval shows better memory for affectively neutral information (M. , and arousal at encoding also produces better memory for information associatedwith it after a delay (Revelle & Loftus, 1990). In addition, our own findings suggest that the affective intensity of an event influences immediateand delayed memory for the event.…”

“…In addition, our own findings suggest that the affective intensity of an event influences immediateand delayed memory for the event. In the widely differing procedures used in investigations of arousal (Revelle & Loftus, 1990) and evaluation (Banaji, 1986), there is evidence that intensity of affect manipulated at the time of encoding alone is sufficient to produce benefits in memory. Together, these findings strongly suggest that affective intensity produces superior memory for information to which it is associated.…”
