Acute stress has been well-established to impair working memory. However, less is known about how writing an unresolved stressor may influence memory or processes. We addressed these issues in the present study ( N = 282) by randomly assigning participants write stressful experience (stressful condition events of previous day). then both measured performance on a change detection task and used computational modeling estimate processes underlying performance: attention, capacity, guessing bias. found that, relative control condition, impaired significantly attention. These results show that effects mimic acute memory, rather than conforming expectations from mood-as-information theory.
