Experimental Conditions for Experiment 1 (A, B) and Experiment 2 (C)

A) Illustration of experimental conditions (Experiment 1).
Option position	Conditions a
	A_close	A_far	E_close	E_far
A	CR	CR	Distractor 4	MAD
B	MAD	Distractor 4	Distractor 3	Distractor 2
C	Distractor 2	Distractor 3	Distractor 2	Distractor 3
D	Distractor 3	Distractor 2	MAD	Distractor 4
E	Distractor 4	MAD	CR	CR
B) Balancing of experimental conditions (Experiment 1).
Target item	Form 101	Form 102	Form 103	Form 104
2	A_close	A_far	E_far	E_close
3	E_close	A_close	A_far	E_far
4	A_far	E_far	E_close	A_close
5	E_far	E_close	A_close	A_far
C) Balancing of experimental conditions (Experiment 2).
	Target Item 1
Option position	Form 101	Form 102	Form 103	Form 104
A	Distractor 2	Distractor 4	MAD	Distractor 3
B	CR	CR	CR	CR
C	Distractor 4	MAD	Distractor 3	Distractor 2
D	MAD	Distractor 3	Distractor 2	Distractor 4
E	Distractor 3	Distractor 2	Distractor 4	MAD

Note.“A” and “E” refer to the position of the correct response; “close” and “far” to the distance from the correct response to the most attractive distractor.

^aConditions are labeled based on the position of the CR and the distance from CR to the MAD.
