Abstract
This study examined recall in the context of killing behavior. Participants who completed an ostensible insect-killing task were surveyed several weeks later. Participants remembered killing fewer insects than they actually did, and recalled feeling more troubled than they actually were. Corrugator activity during the task predicted negative affect weeks later.
