Task Design (a) Schematic of a single trial during the unscanned encoding phase. Participants were cued to generate an instance of a male or female celebrity (person generation task) or an indoor or outdoor scene (scene generation task). At the end of each trial, a red fixation signaled participants to report their success in generating a person or scene described by the adjective. (b) Schematic of a single trial during the scanned retrieval phase. Participants were presented with previously studied and novel words and made a recognition confidence judgment (see text for details).
