(a) Tasks and procedure. Participants first performed a cued task-switching procedure during which they switched between two categorization tasks (e.g., gray frame: living vs. non-living on images, black frame: abstract vs. concrete on words). They then completed a filler task that provided an encoding-retrieval delay of about 5 min. Finally, participants completed a surprise recognition memory task for background images in the task-switching procedure. Note that the original colors of the task cues were red and blue, but were shown in gray scale here. (b) Mean d’ on the recognition memory task as a function of distractor irrelevance and trial type. Error bars indicate within-subjects standard error of the mean (see Franz & Loftus, 2012).* indicates p < .001.
