Abstract
Memory for impressions influences approach/avoidance (AA) decisions. The current study investigated whether congruency impacts this effect. The typical effect of memory on AA decisions was found, but only a limited impact of congruency: incongruent negative expressions, but not incongruent positive expressions, disrupted AA decisions expected based on initial impression.
