Figure 1

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.

Proportion of Correct Responses (Panel A) and Reaction Time (Panel B) in Experiment 1 as a Function of Refreshing Status (x-axis) and Probe Type (Different Shapes).

Note. Error bars represent 95% within-subjects confidence intervals.
