摘要:The adaptative role of emotion during human evolution was essential and emotion remains omnipresent in everyday life, influencing our motivations and behaviours. Despite its impact on cognition and more particularly on memory processes, from encoding to retrieval, emotion is not taken into consideration in classical neuropsychological assessment. The effect of emotion on memory (EEM) exists for young and older people, with some specificities in each group. This effect would be based on different cognitive and neuronal processes according to the emotional dimension taken into consideration (valence or arousal). The EEM would be due to connections between the amygdala, involved in emotional processes, and cerebral structures involved in memory such as the hippocampus or the prefrontal cortex. Few tests have been developed to evaluate the EEM in the literature but there is no validated emotional memory test in French language as far as we know. We describe here an emotional memory test, the MEMO that evaluates separately the impact of components of emotion (valence and arousal) on memorisation of verbal information in episodic memory, along with normative data collected from 120 subjects from 21 to 75 years old classified into four age categories and two sociocultural levels.
