From: Reinstated episodic context guides sampling-based decisions for reward

Supplementary Figure 1

In the proposed mechanism, object images presented as memory probes cause participants to reinstate the trial episode on which the probed image was first encountered (first item in thought bubble). The reinstated episode carries with it the option chosen and reward received on that trial ($10 bill or phase-scrambled bill reflecting $0 reward). The episode also carries with it information about the context, or “casino room”, in which that trial took place. Reinstated context can lead to the subsequent reinstatement of other trials from that same context (ensuing items in thought bubble). Therefore, we predicted that memory probes will cause subsequent choices to be biased by both the rewards received on the reminded trial as well as those received on other trials in the same context.
