Positive effect scores across all four data collections, but not negative affect scores, were negatively correlated to recognition memory performance. A–D Positive Affect score was significantly negatively correlated with d prime index in Feb. 2021 (r(199) =  − 0.26, p = 2.7 × 10(− 4)), Apr. 2021 (r(199) =  − 0.22, p = 1.7 × 10(− 3)), Jun. 2021 (r(199) =  − 0.14, p = 0.04) and Jul. 2021. (r(199) =  − 0.16, p = 0.02). E–H Negative Affect socre, on the contrary, was generally not significantly correlated with the d prime index in Feb. 2021 (r(199) = 0.062, p = 0.38), Jun. 2021 (r(199) = 0.011, p = 0.88) and Jul. 2021. (r(199) = 0.073, p = 0.31). The only exception was in Apr. 2021, when negative affect was positively correlated with d prime (r(199) = 0.15, p = 0.04)
