Behavioral results reflecting statistical word segmentation. The Upper panel shows total recognition accuracy (%) for the hidden words as a function of the cognitive disruption in experiment 1 (Left) and experiment 2 (Right). The Lower panel shows recognition accuracy for the hidden words when participants indicated low and high confidence in remembering the hidden word, referred to as unconfident versus confident responses, respectively. Above-chance performance on confident responses reflects knowledge stored in explicit memory. Above-chance performance on unconfident responses reflects knowledge stored in implicit memory. Error bars denote SEMs. Asterisks denote significance for one-tailed t tests: *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, **P < 0.001. ns, nonsignificant.
