Affective Arousal as Information: How Affective Arousal Influences Judgments, Learning, and Memory
Open accessAbstract
The affect‐as‐information framework posits that affect is embodied information about value and importance. The valence dimension of affect provides evaluative information about stimulus objects, which plays a role in judgment and decision‐making. Affect can also provide evaluative information about one's own cognitions and response inclinations, information that guides thinking and reasoning. In particular, positive affect often promotes, and negative affect inhibits, accessible responses or dominant modes of thinking. Affect thus moderates many of the textbook phenomena in cognitive psychology. In the current review, we suggest additionally that the arousal dimension of affect amplifies reactions, leading to intensified evaluations, increased reliance on particular styles of learning, and enhanced long‐term memory for events. We conclude that whereas valenced affective cues serve as information about value, the arousal dimension provides information about urgency or importance.
Overview

Written from the paper’s full text.
TL;DR
This review extends the affect-as-information framework by proposing that affective arousal signals urgency or importance, thereby intensifying judgments, current processing styles, attention/perception, and long-term memory. Valence is argued to signal value—what to learn—while arousal signals importance—what to remember.
Key findings
- Arousal intensifies evaluative judgments: positive objects seem more positive and negative objects more negative, and effects depend on arousal being attributed to the judgment target; irrelevant arousal can be misattributed, as in the Dutton and Aron bridge study and excitation-transfer research.
- Arousal amplifies whatever processing strategy is currently active: high arousal in positive moods increased relational processing and false memories, while negative affect promoted item-specific processing; fear arousal improved visual sensitivity to perceptual contrasts and heightened threat detection.
- Arousal marks events as important for memory: it enhances long-term memory via adrenergic and amygdala-based consolidation, with its greatest influence on memory for events about 2 days after encoding, and it can occur even when arousal is induced after learning.
- Arousal may carry provisional negative value: high-arousing stimuli tend to be evaluated as negative and low-arousing stimuli as positive, and the amygdala is described as more responsive to arousal than to valence.
Methods
- Narrative review, not a new empirical study; it synthesizes the affect-as-information framework and prior research on valence and arousal.
- The review covers judgment, learning/processing, attention, perception, time perception, and memory, drawing on behavioral, physiological, neuroimaging, pharmacological, and clinical evidence.
- The main analysis is conceptual integration: valence provides evaluative information, whereas arousal provides information about urgency or importance.
Limitations
- Stated: there is no convincing evidence that arousal is a single, unitary entity; emotional intensity is multidimensional; the Yerkes-Dodson curvilinear relation is often unsupported; it is unclear whether arousal acts by increasing fear or by potentiating the fear-perception relationship; evidence is inconsistent on whether objects must be at least slightly arousing for general arousal to enhance memory; and one cited arousal-valence study did not adequately assess the valence of induced states.
- Stated: intense arousal is sometimes associated with amnesia and forgetting, though the authors assume this reflects attentional disengagement during learning rather than arousal effects on forgetting.
- Evident: as a narrative review, it does not systematically quantify effects or resolve inconsistent findings, and it relies on some unpublished, submitted, or forthcoming sources.

It may state two separate claims as one.
The authors state this as an assumption.
There is adaptive value in having ready access to one's attitudes and in being able to read one's own and others' affective reactions.
“These approaches generally assume that there is adaptive value in having ready access to one's attitudes (Fazio & Powell, 1997) and in being able to read one's own and others' affective reactions (Mayer, Salovey, & Caruso, 2004).”
The authors state this as an assumption.
Arousal can be treated as a psychological concept associated with emotional states, variously indexed by activation of the sympathetic nervous system, the autonomic nervous system, or the endocrine system.
“Consistent with Russell and Barrett (1999), we treat arousal as a psychological concept associated with emotional states that is variously indexed by activation of the sympathetic nervous system, the autonomic nervous system, or the endocrine system.”
The authors state this as an assumption.
When asking oneself, 'How strongly do I feel about the car?' feelings of positive value may be intensified by both relevant and irrelevant sources of arousal.
“We assume, then, that when asking oneself, ‘How strongly do I feel about the car?’ feelings of positive value may be intensified by both relevant and irrelevant sources of arousal.”
The authors state this as an assumption.
Any source of arousal can modulate judgment, thoughts, and memory, as long as it is implicitly attributed to or associated with an emotional reaction toward the object of that judgment, thought, or memory.
“A critical feature of our model is that any source of arousal can modulate judgment, thoughts, and memory, as long as it is implicitly attributed to or associated with an emotional reaction toward the object of that judgment, thought, or memory.”
The authors state this as an assumption.
The pattern of reduced memory for relevant, anxiety-arousing material reflects attentional disengagement during learning, rather than arousal effects on forgetting.
“However, we assume that this pattern reflects attentional disengagement during learning, rather than arousal effects on forgetting.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-10-09, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-10-09 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
