“…This has been shown for many stimulus types, such as pictures ( Bradley et al, 1992 ; Schupp et al, 2004a ; Touryan et al, 2007 ; Yegiyan and Yonelinas, 2011 ), faces ( Schupp et al, 2004b ), scenes ( Heuer and Reisberg, 1990 ), gestures ( Flaisch et al, 2011 ), and words ( Kissler et al, 2007 , 2009 ; Herbert et al, 2008 ; Scott et al, 2009 ; Laeger et al, 2012 ; Keuper et al, 2013 , 2014 ; Eden et al, 2014 ). The memory bias, especially for stimuli that are negative and arousing, seems more prominent in persons suffering from an anxiety disorder ( Calvo et al, 1994 ; Friedman et al, 2000 ; Dalgleish et al, 2003 ; Eysenck et al, 2007 ) or from a subclinically anxious personality ( Norton et al, 1988 ; McCabe, 1999 ; Russo et al, 2006 ; Mühlberger et al, 2009 ; Eden et al, 2014 ). The latter group exhibits high levels of trait anxiety, does not meet the criteria for an anxiety disorder, but is prone to develop one (e.g., McCabe, 1999 ; Russo et al, 2006 ; Mitte, 2008 ; Waldhauser et al, 2011 ).…”
