Effect of aroused emotions
It has been reported by police officers who are summoned to court to testify that they remember subjects and the details of incidents best when the subject does not cooperate, is abusive, and uses provocative language. They do not remember as well individuals who are polite, cooperative, etc. This phenomenon, if true, does not appear to be subsumable under any of the listed memory biases.
