Emotionality enhances subjective measures of memory. (A) Experiment 1: associations between event valence and subsequent subjective feeling of memory vividness. Plot shows mean vividness per valence rating, error bars = SE. (B) Experiment 2: associations between event valence (0 = very negative, 10 = very positive) and subsequent subjective feeling of memory confidence (0 = not at all confident, 10 = very confident). Plot shows quadratic model fit, error bars = 95% CI.
