Behavior is best explained by attractor dynamics during encoding and memory. a Simulated memory trajectories from the best-fitting model for one subject. Left: The full dynamical model includes drift towards attractor states during both encoding and memory. Reduced models include drift only during encoding (middle) or memory (right). b AIC and BIC model weights (normalized relative likelihood) for the full model compared with models with zero drift during encoding (β^* = 0) and memory (β = 0). Values indicate the probability that the given model is the best model in the set⁴⁹. Source data are provided as a Source Data file
