Human behavior
@clairestrickett @Nickhalo01 According to most research in psychology:
You NEED emotions to remember long-term. Good or bad emotions (which is why PTSD is a problem = strong emotions and memory get tangled up all you want is to forget but you relive instead).
It's not an either-or. No emotions, no memory.

Environment is the invisible hand that shapes human behavior. Despite our unique personalities, certain behaviors tend to arise again and again under certain environmental conditions. In church, people tend to talk in whispers. On a dark street, people act wary and guarded.
