Note. ID=Internal details (coded episodic detail count from imagining/recalling events for 3 minutes); ID-Percept=Perceptual internal detail subtype; ID-Em/Tho=Emotion or thought-related internal details. External details represent non-episodic details. Fluency represents the total number of events imagined/recalled within 1 minute. All values represent an average across positive and negative event prompts. SR-Likely ratings were not assessed for past events. Bolded comparisons represent those that remain significant after controlling the False Discovery Rate via the Benjamini-Hochberg procedure.
