Table 1.

Hits, false alarms (FA) and discrimination performance (Pr) for emotionally arousing words and low arousal words that were encoded under threat of shock or safety, and tested under threat of shock or safety.

Emotionally arousing words	.75 (.17)	.24 (.17)	.51 (.25)	.75 (.16)	.25 (.16)	.51 (.23)
Low arousal words	.73 (.14)	.23 (.16)	.50 (.22)	.73 (.15)	.23 (.13)	.50 (.19)
Safe
Emotionally arousing words	.77 (.14)	.27 (.16)	.50 (.24)	.80 (.12)	.22 (.17)	.58 (.22)
Low arousal words	.73 (.14)	.22 (.17)	.50 (.21)	.74 (.15)	.23 (.14)	.51 (.18)

Numbers in parentheses indicate standard deviation. Higher Pr values (Hits minus False Alarms) indicate better discrimination ability between old and new items.
