The recall task used in Experiment 2A. Each trial in Experiment 2A began with presentation of a memory array
consisting of two colored and oriented bars. Subjects were instructed to remember the orientations of the bars. After a
blank interval, a second array was presented. In the full-memory condition, this was a second memory array consisting of
two additional oriented bars which subjects also had to store in memory. In the remaining three conditions, subjects did
not have to remember the second display, but instead performed a feature-matching task based on its contents. In the
match-feature-absent condition, subjects compared the colors of two circles and made a response if they matched. In
