Euphoric recall

Short description: Concept in psychology

Euphoric recall is a psychological term for the tendency of people to remember past experiences in a positive light, while overlooking negative experiences associated with some event(s). Euphoric recall has been cited as a factor in substance dependence,[1][2][3][4] as well as anger problems.[5] Individuals may become obsessed with recreating the remembered pleasures of the past.[6]
