LATGE-TOVAR, Sofia et al. MOOD-CONGRUENT MEMORY IN HEALTHY ADULTS: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW. Psicol. clin. [online]. 2022, vol.34, n.3, pp.621-659.  Epub 02-Ago-2024. ISSN 0103-5665.  https://doi.org/10.33208/pc1980-5438v0034n03a09.

Mood-congruent memory (MCM) is defined as the facilitation to remember emotional material when the emotional valence of this material is congruent with current mood. This phenomenon has important clinical implications, especially because of its involvement in mood disorders, such as depression. This systematic review discusses the factors contributing to the occurrence of MCM in healthy adults and its theoretical and clinical implications. We argue that characteristics of the material used in the memory task (e.g., structure, valence intensity, self vs other-reference) and characteristics of the participants (e.g., personality, physiological arousal) are factors likely to modulate the presence of MCM. Ultimately, there is a need for further research investigating the phenomenon in more ecological settings and exploring the neuroanatomical correlates underlying the effect of MCM.
