Importantly, we also found that larger stressor-related increases in cortisol (AUCi in the stress group) were associated with greater susceptibility to false memory; false recognition showed a strong trend ( r = 0.33, P = 0.059), while bias to critical lures ( r = 0.42, P = 0.02) was positively correlated to AUCi ( Fig. 3 ).
