Outline of Final Research Achievements

Stress studies have indicated that stress, which results in increases in cortisol, before retention testing reduces retrieval performance. Accordingly, exercising before retention testing should deteriorate memory performance. This study examined the effects acute aerobic exercise that was performed before retention testing on memory function. Contrary to my hypothesis, results indicated that memory performance did not differ between exercise and rest conditions, even though salivary cortisol increased after aerobic exercise. These results suggest that the negative effects of stress on memory function might be canceled by some kind of mechanisms after acute aerobic exercise.
