The Late Positive Potential (LPP) is an event-related potential (ERP) component recorded over centroparietal electrode sites, which becomes more positive in amplitude when participants attend and process visually-presented stimuli. The LPP is sensitive to the emotional intensity of the stimuli, its amplitudes increasing for emotionally-arousing stimuli. Here we asked whether the LPP data from participants encoding lists of emotional and neutral pictures improve the fit of the eCMR (emotional Context Maintenance and Retrieval model) of free recall to empirical data acquired from healthy adults.
