Series of experiments assessing formation of associative "episodic-like" representations across separate encoding trials (Horner & Burgess, 2013).
The experiments presented here stem from an adaptation of the paradigm for children, which seemed to remove the predicted effects in adults. The four versions here were created to address what the boundary conditions of the original paradigm might be.
Built with Experiment
This version of the experiment presented stimuli using pictures and spoken words, and manipulated the trial timings (constrained = 3 s; original = 6 s).
There was no clear evidence of retrieval dependency, and so this experiment should not be used to measure holistic retrieval of event elements.

This version of the experiment compared presentation formats: half of the participants complete the activities with picture stimuli only, the other half are presented with written and spoken words.
There was no clear evidence of retrieval dependency in the word condition, and so this version of the experiment should not be used to measure holistic retrieval of event elements. For the picture condition, it appeared that retrieval dependency is present but at a lower effect size than previous studies (d = .41). If used, a larger sample size may be required.

This version of the experiment presented stimuli using pictures and spoken words, and included 30 events per participant.

Encoding and test tasks for measuring retrieval dependency from separately encoded event elements.
This version of the experiment is closest in format to previous studies (e.g., Horner & Burgess, 2014). It is the only version of the experiment to show clear evidence of retrieval dependency with ~20 participants.
