Thats not really it at all. People tend to remember things that appeal to them. I enjoy exercising, and so when a particular abstract comes along detaling some research in the area, I tend to remember it.

There have been many studies that have demonstrated a significant antidepressant effect of exercising. This one, for instance, found exercise to be superior in the long run (no pun intended) to zoloft.
