Behavioral performance of the young and old on negative (black), neutral (grey) and positive (white) pictures. (A) Both groups showed similar valence ratings for negative, neutral and positive pictures. The old had more positive valence ratings to positive pictures than the young. (B) Arousal ratings differed across valence categories. Negative pictures elicited higher arousal ratings than neutral or positive pictures in both young and old. (C) The young had better memory for emotional pictures for all valence categories as compared to the old.
