The beginning of the 1990's saw a partisan debate about the nature
of recovered memories for highly emotional events. Some authors
claimed that recovered memories of trauma always referred to
veridical memories that had been inaccessible for years. Others
argued that such memories were false by definition and that they
were created by therapeutic attempts to uncover trauma that was
believed to lie at the root of anxiety or depression. Although the
debate soon moved to a middle ground, both sides fuelled the
development of relevant experimental paradigms to explore the
mechanisms for how false memories might be created and also how
true memories might be forgotten. Examples are studies looking at
memory implanting, false word memory, and retrieval-induced
forgetting in the mid-1990's. Many studies using such paradigms,
however, relied on emotionally neutral material. Studies relating
to trauma were less readily available. Now more and more
researchers are bridging this gap, testing whether emotive material
can be implanted and forgotten and whether there are special
populations more susceptible to these effects. This special issue
brings together papers examining emotion and memory malleability,
both providing a picture of the state-of-the-art research and
pushing the field forward.
