Abstract
Emotional reactivity (ER) moderated the effect of image condition (negative vs. neutral) on proportion of correct responses on a working memory task. High ER-individuals had worse proportion correct within the negative condition compared to the neutral condition. For high-ER individuals, increasing physiological skin conductance response was associated with worse performance.
