Predictions of Strengthening of Bindings (Panel A) and Strengthening of Individual Features (Panel B) for Accuracy and Reaction Time in Experiments 1 and 2.
Note. The black line represents positive probes and the red line the intrusion probes. We had no expectation of a difference between color and shape intrusions, hence we depicted intrusion probes with a single line. Negative probes are uninformative for distinguishing these hypotheses and hence they were omitted from the illustration.
