Diagrammatic representation of the stages of the systematic literature search. The full protocol, data, and code are available in the Online Supplemental Material and via the Open Science Framework at https://osf.io/acwtv/. The literature search yielded 6,817 articles (see Fig. 1 for details). We (SK, AM) first screened article titles and abstracts for relevance. If those fields were irrelevant to recognition memory and/or the event-related potentials of interest, we excluded the corresponding articles. We then read the full text of the remaining 291 articles to assess if they did indeed meet the inclusion criteria (see Inclusion criteria section). This inspection yielded 41 articles that could be included in the current meta-analysis
