In the Deese-Roediger-McDermott (DRM) procedure, participants are asked to remember a list of words like "bed, snooze, awake, tired, dream, rest," which are all words concerning the topic of sleep, although the word "sleep" is not on the list. After this

What is most likely to occur during the recall of everyday, moderately emotional events?

integrate perceptual information to perceive intact objects.
