Cluster analysis of feature counts distinguishes between AMs based on the total amount of detail they contain. Two-step unsupervised cluster analysis of feature counts identified three distinct classes of AMs: 1) those associated with relatively little content (sparse recall), 2) those with a moderate amount of content (moderate recall), and 3) those relatively rich with content (rich recall). Histograms highlight the distribution of total content scores for AMs within each cluster.

Analysis of feature contributions to total content reveals unique clusters. A k-means clustering algorithm (k = 3) produced groups characterized by AMs with comparable feature composition, People-Rich AMs, and Place-Rich AMs.

Within-subject variability in total reported content is less than that between subjects. Between-subject standard deviation was almost twice as large as that within-subjects (inset). To ensure the relatively low within-subject variability across AM content was not due to chance, AMs were shuffled and then randomly reassigned to individual subjects. Lower within-subject AM content variability was found in the original dataset compared with that in the shuffled dataset (mean SD = 10.1 vs. 17.7, respectively; p < 0.05). Histograms of the two datasets are presented. Number of subjects = 1,407; Number of AMs = 10,001.
