Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mood-congruent memory is the phenomenon where people tend to recall information more easily when their mood at the time of retrieval matches their mood when the information was stored in their long-term memory. It means that people have improved access to information in long-term memory that is consistent with their current mood. For example, people in a sad mood are more likely to retrieve negative memories than positive memories.
