Diagram illustrating the design of Experiment 1. (A) On Day 1, participants were exposed to negative IAPS pictures under four different conditions (exposure alone, exposure plus unrelated negative labels, exposure plus related negative labels, and exposure plus neutral related labels). B) On Day 8, participants viewed the same pictures as Day 1 plus an additional set of never-before-seen (novel) pictures. (Note: Actual pictures used were more aversive than the ones depicted here. The pictures depicted in Figure 1 and Figure 4 were obtained from www.istockphoto.com.)
