Figure 2.

A, The graph represents mean performance accuracy on target trials at the levels of n-back = 1, 2, 3, and 5 in the emotional and neutral blocks during the eWM task in the scanner at pre-training. Error bars indicate SE. B, The graph reports emotionality ratings across ER task conditions at pre-training. Emotionality (experienced distress) while viewing the film clips was rated on a Likert scale ranging from 1 (extremely positive) to 10 (extremely negative), with 5 (neutral). The conditions were as follows: Neutral, neutral film clips were presented with the instruction to attend to the films without effortful ER; Attend, aversive film clips were presented with the instruction to attend to the films without effortful ER; Regulate, aversive film clips were presented with the instruction to downregulate negative emotions elicited by the films. Error bars indicate SEM.
