The impact of emotional cue valence and arousal on the neural mechanisms of event-based prospective memory: an ERP study

Key Points

• Event-based prospective memory is influenced by the valence and arousal of emotional cues, impacting neural processing.
• Crucial ERP metrics highlight specific neural responses to varying emotional cues linked to memory tasks.
• Assessment using event-related potentials (ERP) examined emotional cue effects on prospective memory recall in subjects.
• Findings suggest that emotional factors significantly modulate neural pathways involved in memory retrieval.
