Rescripting experimental trauma: Effects of imagery and writing as a way to reduce the development of intrusive memories

ConclusionsWe replicated previous effects of ImRs on intrusion development. Furthermore, no superior effect of imagery as key modality for rescripting was found; writing seems a viable alternative. Measures for implicit emotional memory such as the VIT may have to be applied relatively soon after the experimental session (e.g., same day as the experimental session).
