Trial Sequence for Study and Test Phases across Experiments

(A) Trial sequence and timing for the Simultaneous condition of experiment 1.

(B) Trial sequence (excluding 1 s fixation cross between encoding trials) for the Separated Closed-Loop and Separated Open-Loop conditions of experiments 1 and 2. Dotted lines are for illustrative purposes only (i.e., were not shown at encoding) to emphasize within-event pairs. Within-event pairs were not separated by a single intervening trial but had a mean of 36 intervening trials.

(C) Trial sequence of cued-recognition during the test phase of experiments 1 and 2. Within-event pairs were not tested consecutively but were separated by a mean of 36 intervening trials.

(D) Associative structure of the Simultaneous condition of experiment 1 and Separated Closed-Loop condition of experiments 1 and 2. (Note that half the Separated Closed-Loop events of experiment 2 were animal-location-person triads rather than object-location-person triads.)

(E) Associative structure of the Separated Open-Loop condition of experiment 2.
