Illustration of the Visual Memory Binding Tasks (VMBT) for one trial. Subjects had up to 6 sec to encode either shape-colours relations or conjunctions, before being presented with an immediate forced-choice recognition test for individual features (shapes, colours), and the combinations. Study and immediate test phases were repeated until the participants reached 3 consecutive successful attempts. Then, after a 15 sec delay filled with verbal interference, the same test phase was repeated.
