“…Consistent with these empirical findings and computational models, we found a positive association between the extent of the subjective dilation of time in memory following Neutral-to-Negative transitions and trait dispositional negativity, a known risk factor for mood and anxiety disorders (Shackman et al, 2016). In the future, it will be important to determine whether this finding may be due to increased attentional biases toward negative information (also known to be altered in mood and anxiety disorders (Bourke et al, 2010; Hamilton et al, 2012; Mennen et al, 2019; Mogg et al, 1995; Norris, 2021)—or, alternatively, whether it may stem specifically from less robust temporal context encoding or maintenance in at-risk individuals, which could precede the onset of negative events (Li & Lapate, 2023; J. Wang et al, 2022).…”
