Correlations between symptoms severity and total CC FA values.

<p> Significant linear correlations were found between arousal, avoidance and re-experiencing symptoms intensity, as well as to the total CAPS score to total CC FA values.</p

Experimental paradigm.

<p> Participants performed two types of memory tasks (A. words, B. pictures) with a similar construct: a learning phase that was followed by two repetitions for items and associative memory recognition. Participants were presented with a study list of emotionally neutral pairs. In the item recognition task, participants had to identify the 6 items that appeared in the study list and reject the others. In the associative recognition task, participants had to identify the 6 correct pairs, which appeared in the study list and reject the new, recombined pairs. Highlighted green rectangles indicate targets.</p

Questionnaire results.

<p> Significant differences between groups were found in the total PDS as well as the trait and state anxiety scores (p < .000 for all independent between-groups comparisons).</p
