Research suggests that long-term stress can negatively affect one’s ability for memory retrieval (e.g., Klier & Buratto, 2020). Furthermore, extremely traumatic or emotional events are well recalled, but retrieval of peripheral details is unreliable (e.g., Marloe et. al, 2020). The aim of the current study was to examine a gap in the literature by investigating whether more typical stress levels and scene complexity impact memory recall of everyday scenes. Eighty nine participants were recruited from an undergraduate psychology pool who all received research credit for participation and were randomly assigned to one of three stress groups manipulated through differing instructions and/or a displayed timer (high - shown a 20 second timer, moderate - “exactly 20 seconds to view this scene”, low - “limited amount of time to view the scene”). All participants viewed and memorized five simple and five complex scenes presented in a counterbalanced and randomized order. Each scene was followed by a five question quiz regarding recall of specific scene details. A mixed factorial ANOVA resulted in no significant main effect for the stress level and no significant interaction between stress and scene complexity. There was a significant main effect for scene complexity, with recall of simple scenes (M = 72.83) better compared to complex (M = 61.36) scenes. While there was no significant difference of recall accuracy between stress groups, future studies should be conducted using a stronger stress manipulation. Additionally, more research should further investigate recall of everyday scenes.
