Information loss is prevented by a retrospective cue presented immediately after encoding. During VE trials, a 100% reliable retrospective cue indicated which disc (blue or red) participants would be asked to report. During these trials, we observed a rapid decrease in location information for the uncued disc (black line), but no change in location information for the cued disc (green line). Green and black bars at the top of the plot mark epochs where location information was reliably greater than 0 for the cued and uncued discs, respectively. Red bars mark epochs where location information was reliably larger for the cued relative to the uncued disc. Shaded regions depict 95% within-participant confidence intervals.
