Notes -
I recently read a comment on reddit:
I also heard someone say something along the lines of:
In the first quote a mood is helping retrieve memories encoded with the same mood. In the second quote the music is helping retrieve the mood of a different instance of listening to the same music.
Where can I read more about the concrete details behind this phenomenon?
Is there a way to reliably trigger recall of a specific memory that matches your current mood?
Could you use psychoactive mood boosting substances to generate positive memories where music is playing in the background then use that same music to retrieve the enhanced mood when sober?
I had a math professor who advised us to study in a similar mood as we would be in during the exam. He joked that maybe we should be crying while we study.
