Two cognitive tasks were used, a wordlist memory task where participants were asked to write down as many words as they could remember and a Stroop task, both original and emotional Stroop.
Tvö hugræn verkefni voru notuð, orðalista minnispróf þar sem þátttakendur voru beðnir um að skrifa niður eins mörg orð og þeir mundu og Stroop próf, bæði upprunalega og tilfinninga Stroop.
