Methods for Experiments 1 to 3. (A) In an online experiment (Experiment 1), 3,216 participants performed a continuous recognition memory task, where they viewed images and pressed a key when they recognized an image from earlier in the sequence. (B) In an in-person experiment (Experiment 2), 19 new participants freely explored the Art Institute of Chicago, and then afterwards rated their memory for a set of target and foil paintings on their mobile phone. (C) In an online experiment (Experiment 3), 40 new participants provided ratings of beauty, emotion, interest, and familiarity for each painting.
