越来越多的证据表明，负面情绪场景的核心方面比非情绪场景的相应方面更容易记住。之前的工作，以及对这些发现的专心描述，导致作者预测，焦虑倾向的人会记住极其负面的情绪图片，就像从更近的角度(即背景较小)看比其他图片。研究结果表明，对于非常消极的场景，高特质焦虑的个体的边界延伸确实减少了，而对于唤醒场景来说，这一点更普遍，除了那些具有积极内容的场景。这些发现被认为支持了这样一种观点，即关注情感唤醒场景的中心方面可以限制通常对周围空间的延伸印象。
Evidence has accumulated showing that central aspects of negative emotional scenes are remembered better than equivalent aspects of nonemotional scenes. Previous work, and an attentional account of these findings, led the authors to predict that anxiety-prone individuals would remember extremely negative emotional pictures as if seen from a closer perspective (i.e., with a less extended background) than other pictures. Findings showed that boundary extension was indeed reduced in high-trait-anxious individuals for very negative scenes, and this was more generally true for arousing scenes, with the exception of those with positive content. These findings are taken to be support for the view that attending to central aspects of emotionally arousing scenes can restrict the usual extended impression of surrounding space.
