Functional, or working, memory is the facet of the memory that actively holds multiple pieces of transitory information in the mind, where they can be accessed, used, and manipulated, and this is a psychology term.

Affective memory is a theatrical term, coming from Stanislavski's acting method. Affective memory calls for people to cast their minds back to details of a similar experience, or one with similar emotional weight, to that of the character they are about to play. This emotional recall makes the character more believeable and more realistic.

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?
