Answer 1

Mood congruent memory

Explanation:

Mood congruent memory represents the mood of an event. It shows that when memory is stored in an event it also stores the state of the mood of that event at that time.

So that because of mood memories when we recall our event that is related to happiness, we recall another moment too which is related to the happy moment. When we recall a sad moment we recall, sad memories as well.

Thus when Byran's girlfriend broke up with him and when he sat in his bedroom he recalls all sad moments at that time because of mood-congruent behavior.
