Main effects of sex and valence for the picture-rating task during encoding and for recognition. A, B, The contrast meaningful versus scrambled pictures during encoding (A, main effect of sex; B, main effect of valence). C, The contrast remembered versus nonremembered pictures during encoding (main effect of valence only). D, E, The contrast old versus new pictures of the recognition task (D, main effect of sex; E, main effect of valence). For the main effect of sex (A, D) red indicates that this contrast was more pronounced in females than in males, whereas blue indicates the opposite. For the main effect of valence (B, C, E) the brighter the regions are, the higher the differences for the contrasts were between the three valence categories.
