memories are stored based on the level of emotions at that time of the event, the HIGHER the emotion is, then the more of a memory is created, the more detail. that’s why during big events (fires, murders, shootings, war, etc.) People remember so much, including smells and often have triggers around them.. most “good” memories are nice, but not so triggering or high in emotions. what do you think would create a better memory, “wow i’m so happy about this party” or “My friend just betrayed me”.. see how negitive events are typically tied to stonger emotions, hense, stronger memories.
