Figure 7.

Recall performance and left hippocampal activity were disrupted for the Distracted participants. Comparisons of the impact of distraction (A) and left hippocampal activity (B) are shown for the participants whose recall performance was not affected by visual distraction (ND, n = 10) and the participants whose recall performance declined during visual distraction (D, n = 13). The plot of each participant's recall performance during the VD condition (y-axis) versus the SHUT condition (x-axis) shows the Not Distracted subgroup (solid dots above the diagonal) and the Distracted subgroup (open dots below the diagonal). Error bars represent the SEM, *p < 0.05; ◇ indicates the differences for correct recall between forgot and CR, p < 0.05.
