  text: The neuro-physiological response to stress has far-reaching implications for
    learning and memory processes. Here, we examined whether and how the stress-induced
    release of cortisol, following the socially-evaluated cold pressor test, influenced
    the acquisition of preferences in an evaluative conditioning (EC) procedure. We
    found that when the stressor preceded the evaluation phase, cortisol responders
    showed decreased evaluative conditioning effects. By contrast, impairing effects
    of a stressor-induced cortisol release before encoding were not found. Moreover,
    explicit memory was not found to be affected by the stressor or its timing. Implications
    of the timing-dependent effects of stress-induced cortisol release on EC and the
    relation between stress and associative memory are discussed.
