The order of presentation of sub-blocks in the test phase 88 24 alternated across the six full blocks of the task and was 89 25 counterbalanced across participants.

Data analysis 98 34 Old/new recognition accuracy was calculated as the adjusted 99 35 item recognition score (hits minus false alarms, with hits 100 36 being defined as the proportion of words correctly recognised 101 37 as previously seen and false alarms the proportion of new 102 38 103 words incorrectly endorsed as old).

So for example, ‘Imagined judged 111 47 Perceived’ errors were calculated as the number of perceived 112 48 responses that were made to imagined trials divided by the 113 49 114 sum of perceived and new responses to imagined trials. This 50 115 gives a measure of misattribution error unrelated to overall 51 116 item recognition accuracy for each condition.
