Type Headache

The frequency of precipitation of headache attacks by individual emotional states as well as the awareness of vulnerability to particular emotional precipitants were investigated in 90 consecutive patients with tension-type headache and 50 consecutive migraine subjects at an Outpatient Headache Clinic. There was differential emotional precipitation in tension-type headache and migraine, with patients with tension-type headache reacting more selectively to negative emotional arousal (anger, anxiety) and reporting a graded frequency of attack precipitation by individual emotional states. Migraine subjects reported a more uniform distribution of attacks among different emotional precipitants. The two groups also showed a differential awareness of vulnerability to individual emotional precipitants. A cognitive process screening the emotional precipitants of tension-type headache and migraine attacks is proposed, based on different cognitive schemata functioning either over-effectively or defectively. The significance of cognitive mediation of the precipitation of attacks is further emphasized for a comprehensive management of both tension-type headache and migraine.

Immediate Memory

Emotional arousal induced after learning has been shown to modulate memory consolidation. However, it is unclear whether the effect of postlearning arousal can extend to different aspects of memory. This study examined the effect of postlearning positive arousal on both item memory and source memory. Participants learned a list of neutral words and took an immediate memory test. Then they watched a positive or a neutral videoclip and took delayed memory tests after either 25 minutes or 1 week had elapsed after the learning phase. In both delay conditions, positive arousal enhanced consolidation of item memory as measured by overall recognition. Furthermore, positive arousal enhanced consolidation of familiarity but not recollection. However, positive arousal appeared to have no effect on consolidation of source memory. These findings have implications for building theoretical models of the effect of emotional arousal on consolidation of episodic memory and for applying postlearning emotional arousal as a technique of memory intervention.
