Manipulation check variables during memory recall before and after the processing mode induction for participants in each condition.

| HRV | 6.24 (1.12) | 6.19 (1.07) | 6.19 (1.12) | |
| Second memory | Experiential ratings | 4.91 (1.99) | 6.24 (1.79) | 5.12 (2.12) |
| Analytical ratings | 4.82 (2.11) | 4.85 (2.33) | 4.27 (2.35) | |

Note: Data are mean (standard deviation) values. First memory = memory recall before the processing mode induction; second memory = memory recall after the processing mode induction. Induction = experiential, analytical or distraction processing mode induction in between each memory recall. HRV = heart rate variability (indexed using log respiratory sinus arrhythmia).
