I can't agree about the "unable to recognize and process it", simply because that idea is totally contrary to my own experience. I have in fact many memories which have emotions in them, without words or other external elements. However, seeing that language serialization seems to enable a vastly extended memory (entire sagas remembered as songs), it is understandable that something is gained by serialization of emotional experiences, just as something more immediate is lost.
