Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Recent research has focused on interfering with memory reconsolidation as a potential method for erasing negative memories. This process involves disrupting the formation of new memories by blocking the re-stabilization of existing memories during recall. This can weaken or erase the emotional intensity of negative memories. Mnemonics, inducing anterograde amnesia, and inducing proactive interference are not supported methods for erasing negative memories.
