Note: Data are mean retrospective affect ratings (n = 10) of each condition's cue on 7-point Likert scales for arousal and positivity. PA was calculated from arousal and positivity (see text for formula). The s.e.m. are calculated within condition. Data points within a column that share subscripts do not differ at P < 0.05 (two tailed).
