Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0003-3920-1099 Acute psychosocial stress effects on memory performance: Relevance of age and sex 2019 Access copy available to the general public Unrestricted In recent decades, there has been a growing interest in investigating the effects of chronic and acute stress on cognitive processes, especially memory performance. However, research focusing on acute stress effects has reported contradictory findings, probably due to the many factors that can moderate this relationship. In addition to factors related to the individual, such as sex and age, other factors, such as the type of memory assessed, can play a critical role in the direction of these effects. This review summarizes the main findings of our research group and others about the effects of acute psychosocial stress on memory performance in young and older people of both sexes, taking into account the type and phase of memory assessed. In our opinion, an approach that addresses individual factors and other factors related to the type of stressor and temporal relationship between exposure to the stressor and performance will contribute to better understanding the mechanisms underlying the complex relationship between acute stress and memory. Finally, some new directions for future studies on this research topic are suggested. info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA-FEDER/Construyendo Europa desde Aragón info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MEC/PSI2010-21343 info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MEC/PSI2013-46889 info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MEC/PSI2016-78763 info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MEC/SEJ2004-07191-PSIC info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MEC/SEJ2007-62019-PSIC info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess All rights reserved http://www.europeana.eu/rights/rr-f/ 2.768 2019 PSYCHOLOGY, MULTIDISCIPLINARY 30 / 138 = 0.217 2019 Q1 T1 BEHAVIORAL SCIENCES 17 / 52 = 0.327 2019 Q2 T1 PSYCHOLOGY 22 / 77 = 0.286 2019 Q2 T1 NEUROSCIENCES 153 / 270 = 0.567 2019 Q3 T2 1.557 2019 Behavioral Neuroscience 2019 Q1 Experimental and Cognitive Psychology 2019 Q1 Cognitive Neuroscience 2019 Q1 info:eu-repo/semantics/review info:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersion Pulopulos, M.M.
