Abstract
The present study evaluated the status of mood-congruent memory bias in implicit memory tasks for threat-related information. A literature review complemented by three experiments on high and low trait anxiety participants found no implicit memory bias for threat-related information in anxious individuals on either word fragment completion or tachistoscopic word identification tasks. The theoretical implications of these results are discussed.Keywords
