(A) Emotional influences on temporal source memory. CS+ category items were significantly more likely to be attributed to the threat acquisition phase regardless of their actual phase of origin (e.g., Pre-Con or EXT). CS category items originating from the threat ACQ phase were more likely to be attributed to the EXT phase (compared with ACQ CS+ items). (B) The propensity to attribute CS+ items to ACQ phase regardless of true origin was associated with poorer pattern separation of extinction memory but greater recognition memory for extinction CS+ items. (***) P < 0.001, (ns) P > 0.05. Error bars represent 95% CI.
