Experiment 2 Results: Recall benefit for Coherent Narrative events in both Wake and Sleep conditions. a Overall recall of sideplot events: verifiable recalled details are summed for each side-character, and binned and averaged by Coherence (Coherent Narrative, Unrelated Narratives) and 12-hour Retention Interval group (Delayed Recall-Wake, Delayed Recall-Sleep). b Recall of individual sideplot events: similar to a, except recalled details are binned and averaged by Event Number (1, 2) and Coherence, within each Retention Interval group. c Recall of main plots: verifiable recalled details for main plot events are summed for each main protagonist, and then binned and averaged by Retention Interval group. Key: Bars = mean recalled details (+/- standard error of the mean), brackets = significant t-tests: += p <0.10, * = p <0.05, ** = p <0.01, *** = p <0.001
