Correlation of specific memory scores and maximum endogenous cortisol levels (as measured by the highest cortisol concentration taken from any time point after the stress or control manipulation) across all participants. Maximum endogenous cortisol during early consolidation has (a) a positive correlation with negative trade-off magnitude and (b) a negative correlation with neutral backgrounds paired with negative objects. This suggests that the primary effect of cortisol during the early consolidation period is a suppressive effect on neutral information paired with negative content.
