Schematic representation of the experimental procedure. In the study phase, participants encoded cue-target pairs. During the think/no-think (TNT) phase, participants were instructed to directly suppress memories associated with cue objects presented inside a red frame and to recall memories associated with cue objects presented inside a green frame. Finally, in the test phase, participants were asked to remember and verbally describe all the scenes that they had previously recalled (recall items) or suppressed (suppress items), as well as all the scenes that they had initially learned but had not seen during the TNT phase (baseline items).
