## Abstract

Abstract
 The proposed research will examine the accuracy of people’s recall of emotional states
and specific events over the course of a 2-hour period. Unlike prior studies of recall over
periods of this length, the current design is experimental in that participants will be presented
with pre-specified patterns of stimuli allowing us to determine how various characteristics of
the temporal presentation (placement of stimuli in the period and intensity of stimuli) affect
recall. A series of studies are proposed that include extensive development of the experimental
stimuli and pretesting of a computer-administered protocol. Techniques to construct questions
that improve recall will also be developed. A final, remote-administration study of 1,000
participants will provide the data for analyses. We expect the results to be applicable to the
coverage model of Ecological Momentary Assessment and similar assessment modalities.
