Figures & Tables

Figure 1

Example images of positive and negative T1 stimuli and upright and inverted T2 stimuli used in the RSVP task. Positive T1 and Negative T1 were coloured images in the task. Images adapted from Lang and colleagues (1999).

Figure 2

Schematic of the RSVP task. N= neutral image, T1 = emotionally manipulated image and T2 = target image for identification.

Figure 3

Accuracy data for correctly identifying T2. 2L = lag of two, 8L = lag of eight, A = anxiety, D = depression. Error bars represent standard errors.
