Experiment 3 timeline. We first trained participants to fixate on the center of the screen to ensure that they correctly encoded pictures as being presented on the left or right sides of space. Next, participants associated each of four “contexts” (two pictures of faces and two pictures of scenes) with a unique set of 12 words. The order in which faces/scenes were displayed on the left/right was randomized across participants. Participants then performed the DNMS task from Experiment 2, after which they performed a one-back localizer task involving blocks of face, scene, object, and scrambled scene images presented on the left/right. Images used during the localizer were distinct from the task stimuli. Finally, participants reported the context with which they thought each word was associated during the initial context-learning phase
