Of course they would, if their fears center around their behavior.
I'm afraid of vomit, and my memories of many events are focussed on vomit (even if no actual vomiting occurred).
It's like those scenes in movies where someone is asked to describe a traumatic event, and all they can remember is the gun, or other objects that arouse fear.
I'm not sure any cause and effect relationship can be established beyond the one that what is feared is remembered better than what is neutral.
