当记住一个事件时，重要的是要记住事件的两个特征（例如，人和动作），以及特征之间的连接（例如，谁做了什么动作）。情绪通常会增强对刺激特征的记忆，但情绪与记忆中特征绑定之间的关系尚不清楚。年轻人和老年人试图记住一个人做出消极、积极或中性行为的事件。对动作的记忆被情绪增强，但情绪并没有增强参与者记住哪个人执行哪个动作的能力。老年人比年轻人更容易犯约束性错误，他们错误地记住了一个熟悉的演员执行一个熟悉的动作，而这个动作实际上是由其他人执行的，这种与年龄相关的联想缺陷在中性和情感动作中都被发现。情绪增加了老年人和年轻人对旧事件的正确识别，但也增加了对事件的错误识别，其中熟悉的演员执行了由其他人执行的熟悉动作。因此，尽管情绪可以增强对事件特征的记忆，但它并不能提高记住谁做了哪个动作的准确性。
When remembering an event, it is important to remember both the features of the event (e.g., a person and an action), and the connections among features (e.g., who performed which action). Emotion often enhances memory for stimulus features, but the relationship between emotion and the binding of features in memory is unclear. Younger and older adults attempted to remember events in which a person performed a negative, positive, or neutral action. Memory for the action was enhanced by emotion, but emotion did not enhance the ability of participants to remember which person performed which action. Older adults were more likely than younger adults to make binding errors in which they incorrectly remembered a familiar actor performing a familiar action that had actually been performed by someone else, and this age-related associative deficit was found for both neutral and emotional actions. Emotion increased correct recognition of old events for older and younger adults but also increased false recognition of events in which a familiar actor performed a familiar action that had been performed by someone else. Thus, although emotion may enhance memory for the features of an event, it does not increase the accuracy of remembering who performed which action.
