Summary of the methodology and main findings of previous studies.

Studies	Stimuli	Encoding	Method	Main findings
Tuena et al.48	Virtual scenes	Incidental	High vs. Medium vs. Low embodiment	High > Medium and Low embodiment for source and hit rate (immediate)
Bréchet et al.49,50	3D objects	Incidental	Body vs. No-Body	Body > No-body in a delayed recognition task
Gauthier et al.51	3D objects	Incidental	Body vs. No-Body	Body = No-body in a recognition task (immediate and delayed)
Tacikowski et al.52	Trait-adjectives	Incidental	Synch vs Asynch V-T stimulation	Synch > Asynch in a recognition task (immediate)
Iriye and Ehrsson53	Video scenes	Intentional	Synch vs Asynch V-T stimulation	Synch > Asynch for details, reliving (immediate), vividness, emotional intensity, and confidence (one week delay)

Synch, synchronous; Asynch, asynchronous; V-T, visuo-tactile.
