1 Article analysis framework: Emotional memory processing is influenced by sleep quality XXXXX Swinburne University Online PSY10007: Brain and Behaviour ELA: XXXXX Due Date: XXXXX 2 Article 1: Starting reference Reference in APA format Present the reference you have selected in appropriate APA 7th format Analysis (maximum 300 words) What is this article about? The article discusses how sleep deprivation negatively influences the functionality in some brain circuits that are related to emotional memory and the study looking at the recall of emotional memory that is enhanced after sleep and is hindered by sleep deprivation. What is the Author’s aim? The aim of the study was to assess the hypothesis that poor sleep quality such as sleep deprivation is associated with a decreased memory recall of emotional stimuli. Additionally, the study analysed whether sleep quality as well as sleep deprivation may impact the ability to accurately recognise a memory (hippocampal activity-dependent), but also the emotions and moods associated with the memory (limbic activity-dependent). What are four or five key points being made? 1. Sleep deprivation and lack of sleep was observed to have a negative influence on an individual’s ability to associate emotions with memory recognition; 2. Individuals who were unable to sustain a full night’s sleep were not able to consolidate emotions linked with a memory and the memories remembered were enveloped in a negative valence; 3 3. Individuals memories were negatively influenced by both poor quality of sleep and lack of sleep; 4. It was confirmed that a fulfilling sleep enhances the consolidation of emotional memory; and 5. The study findings concurred with other studies that there was a tendency for subjects that were depressed viewed negative or positive information more negatively than those subjects with no depression.
