Results of the mediation analyses, testing if the valence rating mediates the association between HC-status and memory performance for the two emotional picture categories separately. (a) Negative picture category and (b) positive picture category. Path (a) represents the effect of HC-status on valence rating, whereas path (b) is the effect of valence rating on memory performance after removing the effect of HC-status. The indirect effect is computed by multiplying the effects of (a) and (b). Path (c) denotes the effect of the HC-status on memory performance. Path (c’) represents the effect of HC-status on memory performance while controlling for the indirect effect. Parameters (r) show the association strength (± 95% confidence interval). Ratio indirect/direct represents the strength of mediation ((a × b)/c’). Parameters (P) show significance for path (a), (b), (c), (c’) and indirect effect
