"Many of us remember vividly being yelled at or feeling threatened by a family
member, a teacher, or a boss.
Terrifying experiences often get imprinted in our memory; remembering
frightening events is essential to avoid them in future. It is a normal
reaction that promotes our survival.
This strong connection between fear and memory may lead us to think fear can be
an effective learning tool. Research shows, however, fear can have long-term
negative consequences for children and adults alike – and can actually make it
harder to learn in meaningful ways.
Here’s what the research says about how and what we learn when we are scared."
