Number of correctly recalled words. In each panel, columns denote encoding task (left: self-reference task, right: valence task), and colors denote normative valence (blue: positive, red: negative). Error bars and bands represent 95% bootstrap confidence intervals (Waskom et al., 2017). In Panel (b), dashed vertical lines denote standard cutoffs for mild, moderate, and severe depression. Panel (a) depicts a higher average number of recalled positive vs. negative words from each encoding task, and a higher average number of words recalled from the self-reference task overall. Panel (b) demonstrates that higher BDI scores were associated with poorer recall of positive words but slightly better recall of negative words from both encoding tasks.
