Multivariate pattern similarity. a Within-cue pattern similarity was measured as the correlation across voxels between cue–outcome visual transitions that shared the same cue but contained different outcomes. Hippocampal and EVC within-cue similarity were lower for predictive than nonpredictive actions after a 3-day delay, compared to no delay. b Across-cue pattern similarity was measured between cue–outcome transitions with non-overlapping stimuli. Delay interval did not modulate across-cue similarity in either the hippocampus or EVC. Error bars indicate ± 1 SEM of the difference between correlations for predictive and nonpredictive events at each timescale. ***p < 0.001; **p < 0.01; *p < 0.05; ~p = 0.051 (paired t-tests).
