Transition matrices used in current study. The four entropy conditions consisted of stimulus series constructed from four transition matrices differing in level of disorder as quantified by first‐order Markov entropy. These ranged from a “random” condition lacking any transition constraints, to an “ordered” condition with strong statistical constraints. In all cases, the marginal probabilities of all four tokens were equal (25%) when considered over the entire series. In addition, the proportion of self‐repetitions was identical across all conditions (25%).
