Performance on the peritraumatic processing task as an indicator for data driven and contextual processing (mean, standard errors). a Accuracy. Total number of pictures correctly categorised as belonging to the trauma film versus new pictures (i.e. negative match). Across both groups, participants were better in correctly categorising the negative-matched pictures as not belonging to the trauma films, compared to categorising the trauma-film pictures as part of the films. b Data-driven processing as reaction time to recognise picture content, with faster response reflecting picture recognition at blurrier picture levels during the task. Both groups were faster in recognising the general contents of the trauma pictures compared to the general contents of the negative-match picture. c Contextual processing reflected by the mean reported details per picture for trauma pictures. Participants could include information which was not depicted in the presented picture itself but which they deliberately retrieved based on their trauma-film memory. The losartan group scored higher than the placebo group, indicating an advantage in contextual processing. d Negative match: Perceived level of detail in the negative-match pictures, controlled for reaction time. This reflects pure perceptual processes, since all pictures were new to the participants and no memory effects could interfere. The losartan compared to placebo group scored higher, indicating visual processing advantages for peripheral trauma-cues. Note that the y-axis depicts standardised residuals. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01
