Post-experiment recognition ratings. Mean recognition ratings (4-point scale: 1 = definitely new; 2 = probably new; 3 = probably old; 4 = definitely old) for previously encountered scene stimuli are plotted as function of task condition and WM load. The mean recognition rating given to novel stimuli is indicated by the dashed purple line. For scene stimuli from low load trials, participants rated those encountered during the Remember Scenes condition higher than those encountered during Passively View, which in turn were rated higher than those encountered during Ignore Scenes (ratings for these were no different than those given to novel stimuli). For scene stimuli from high load trials, ratings were higher for the Remember Scenes condition than Passively View, but ratings for the Ignore Scenes condition did not differ from Passively View and were significantly greater than their low load counterpart (and significantly greater than ratings given to novel stimuli). Error bars indicate standard error of the mean. (* p < 0.05)
