Study protocol. Subjects viewed pictures for 2 s, after which the regulation instruction was superimposed on the picture with 50% transparency for 2 s. Participants viewed the regulation strategy only for an additional 6 s. They were instructed to make a valence and confidence judgment regarding their success in implementing the strategy correctly. The symbols used were an eye for “view,” a refresh sign for “reappraise,” and an X for “suppress.”
