Contextual memory bias in emotional events: Neurobiological correlates and depression risk
Negative stimuli appearing in an event might impair memory encoding of the visuoperceptual context under attentional interference, represented as weakened amygdala-vmPFC connectivity implicated in emotion-related attentional dysregulation. Conversely, negative stimuli might enhance temporally proximal visuoperceptual encoding after their disappearance. Contextual encoding bias could explain the overgeneralization (or lower coherence) of autobiographical memory and increase the risk of depression. The possible role of cortisol in recollecting the context of emotional events over time warrants further investigation.
