Question

Whenever Mindy experiences intense feelings of fear, she is overwhelmed with childhood memories of her abusive parents. Mindy's experience BEST illustrates _____ memory.

Answer 1

Mindy's experience best illustrates mood-congruent memory.

Explanation:

Fear is an unpleasant feeling which occurs due to danger or insecurity.

Mood-congruent memory is the place where humans store their memory. It is evident that when we store memory, we not only store the event, but we also store the mood of the event.

So when we recall our memory, we are able to recall the mood at the time of event. If we are happy we will be able to recall the happy memories.
