La memoria emocional alude al efecto que poseen las emociones sobre la formación de recuerdos. En personas que utilizan un segundo idioma, este efecto presenta resultados controversiales. El objetivo de este trabajo fue indagar el posible efecto de la emoción en los procesos de memoria en personas adultas bilingües (BL) y monolingües (ML). Participaron 49 sujetos quienes codificaron una lista de palabras en español (ML y BL) o en inglés (BL) indicando valencia y arousal para cada una. Inmediatamente y siete días después, se evaluó su recuerdo libre y reconocimiento. Los resultados indicaron que para aquellos sujetos que codificaron los estímulos en español (ML y BL) las palabras fueron calificadas con una mayor carga emocional que para aquellos participantes que las codificaron en inglés (BL). Además, el grupo ML presentó mayor cantidad de intrusiones que ambos grupos BL. Se concluye que existen factores particulares en el procesamiento de la información emocional que modulan el recuerdo emocional en BL y ML.

The term ‘emotional memory’ refers to the particular effects emotion has on memory formation. For people who use a second language, this effect is controversial. The aim of this study was to explore the effect of emotion on the memory processes of bilingual (BL) and monolingual (ML) adults. Forty-nine participants (15 ML and 34 BL) encoded a word-list in either Spanish (ML and and BL) or English (BL) while reporting the valence and arousal ratings generated by each word. Immediately after encoding and seven days later, all groups took a free recall and recognition task for the list. The results indicate that for those subjects who encoded the stimuli in Spanish (ML and BL) the words had a higher emotional load than for the participants who encoded the words in English (BL). Furthermore, the ML-group presented more intrusions than both BL-groups. This findings suggest that particular forms of information processing modulates memory retrieval on emotional memory for bilinguals and monolinguals.
