Memory for events occurring before or after the stressor or control treatment. Stressed participants tended to remember more objects encoded before the stressor (A), yet this pattern did not reach significance. This was driven by high cortisol responders recognizing more images that were encoded before the stressor (B). When stressed participants showed memory prioritization for the stressful episode, they recognized significantly more images than control participants (C). This was especially the case for stressed participants showing a pronounced cortisol response to the stressor (D). Error bars show SEM. (*) P < 0.05, (**) P < 0.01.
