Abstract
We examined whether cumulative lifetime adversity moderated the impact of aversive videos on distressing involuntary memory one week later. We found that participants with some lifetime adversity, when compared to persons with low or high levels, reported fewer distressing memories 1 week after watching an aversive video.
