====State-dependent remembering==== The term [[State-dependent memory|state-dependent remembering]] refers to the evidence that memory retrieval is most efficient when an individual is in the same state of consciousness as they were when the memory was formed.<ref name="girden">{{cite journal | vauthors = Girden E, Culler E | title = Conditioned responses in curarized striate muscle in dogs. | journal = Journal of Comparative Psychology | date = April 1937 | volume = 23 | issue = 2 | pages = 261β274 | doi = 10.1037/h0058634 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web | last = Russell | first = Dewey | name-list-style = vanc | url = http://www.intropsych.com/ch06_memory/state-dependent_memory.html | title = State-Dependent Memory | work = Psych Web | date = 2007 }}</ref> Based upon her research with rats, Radulovic has argued that memories for highly stressful traumatic experiences may be stored in different neural networks than is the case with memories for non-stressful experiences, and that memories for the stressful experiences may then be inaccessible until the organism's brain is in a neurological state similar to the one that occurred when the stressful experience first occurred.<ref name="Radulovic">{{cite journal | vauthors = Radulovic J, Jovasevic V, Meyer MA | title = Neurobiological mechanisms of state-dependent learning | journal = Current Opinion in Neurobiology | volume = 45 | pages = 92β98 | date = August 2017 | pmid = 28558266 | pmc = 5654544 | doi = 10.1016/j.conb.2017.05.013 }}</ref> At present, however, there is no evidence that what Radulovic found with rats occurs in the memory systems of humans, and it is not clear that human memories for traumatic experiences are typically "recovered" by placing the individual back in the mental state that was experienced during the original trauma.
