Table 2.
Total number of pictures recalled as a function of time horizon condition and picture valence in Experiment 2.

---|---|---|---|
Expansive time horizon condition | Control condition | Limited time horizon condition | |

Positive pictures | 2.33 (1.28) | 2.56 (1.47) | 2.55 (0.94) |
Negative pictures | 2.33 (1.63) | 2.49 (1.52) | 2.00 (1.56) |
Total recall | 4.67 (2.35) | 5.05 (2.60) | 4.55 (2.21) |
Note: There were 7 positive and 7 negative pictures, for a total of 14 pictures. Numbers in parentheses represent standard deviations. Of note, recall levels were lower in Experiment 2 than in Experiment 1 because of procedural differences at encoding. Whereas encoding was incidental during Experiment 2 it was intentional during Experiment 1. This change to incidental encoding likely also led to the larger positivity effects in Experiment 2 than in Experiment 1 (see Reed et al., 2014).
