C4: Effects of stress on event memory in everyday life in healthy and (sub)clinical populations

Within the scope of C4 we aim to understand how stress can alter memory processes and whether exposure to nature can buffer these effects. We plan to conduct a laboratory functional MRI study using a scene encoding task where we vary the content of nature depicted in the stimulus material and the timepoint of the administration of the stressor. Moreover an ecological momentary assessment (EMA) study will be conducted where stressors will be applied via a smartphone and photos will be taken in the daily life of participants to test, whether the effects observed in the laboratory study extend into real life.
