Abstract
Our memories of misdeed become less clear over time; this is known as unethical amnesia. Recently, Kouchaki and Gino (Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences USA, 113(22), 6166-6171, 2016) explained that unethical amnesia occurs because of the psychological distress and discomfort such illegal acts cause (psychological mechanism). Notably, unethical amnesia has two components: cognitive as well as emotion. Authors have not explained the possible cognitive-emotional and neural mechanisms underlying unethical amnesia. To get the complete picture of unethical amnesia, I firmly believe that along with psychological mechanisms, it is essential to explain underlying cognitive-emotional and neural mechanisms, which is the primary focus of this paper. Together, it will give real insight to the reader to understand this phenomenon.
