How is the memorability of an image influenced by how it makes us feel? @hartwakeland.bsky.social created an image set (VAMOS) of over 900 scene images, along with their valence, arousal, and memorability ratings. They then showed that *moderately* negative images are more memorable! (1/2)

Sample images sorted by evoked valence/arousal and memorability. Scene images were selected to span a wide range of average valence and arousal scores. The figure above shows examples of memorable and forgettable images from across the spectra of valence and arousal. Examples include a tornado (negative and memorable), pollution from a factory (negative and forgettable), a field of sunflowers (positive and memorable), a frosty field in early morning (positive and forgettable), a car crash (high arousal and memorable), and a mountain scene (high arousal and forgettable).

Chey @hartwakeland.bsky.social also aggregated an image set (VAMOS) of over 900 scene images, along with their valence, arousal, and memorability ratings. Feel free to use in your research, with credit to us, NAPS, OASIS, PLACES, and COMPASS!

What makes an image memorable? Images that are highly arousing and moderately negative are more memorable. But the arousal/valence of an image explains surprisingly little variance in memorability! So proud of the amazing @hartwakeland.bsky.social for leading this work! #PsychSciSky
