Research topics

Autobiographical memories contribute to the experience of sexual emotions and also affect sexual behavior. These memories support the interpretation of what occurs in our environment and determine the valence, whether positive or negative, of the resulting emotions.
I am interested in the role of emotional memories in sexuality. It provides an excellent domain for the study of autobiographical memories and emotion.
