摘要：A visuospatial grounding task, making shapes from modelling clay (plasticine), has been shown to reduce encoding of traumatic images (Stuart, HolmesandBrewin, 2006). We tested the impact of this task on retrieval of emotional memories. Non-clinical participants recalled autobiographical memories of negative and positive events under control (no concurrent task) or experimental (clay modelling) conditions. As predicted by a working memory model of recollection, the clay modelling task reduced the self-rated vividness and emotional intensity of the memories. We suggest that clay modelling may be a useful treatment aid for dampening emotional distress during recall of traumatic events.
