  1. Some subjects participated in multiple experiments resulting in overlapping samples. Note that for the “Milky Way” and “Shapes” datasets, we tabulate the duration and word count only once for closely related experimental manipulations, respectively (reflected in the total durations at bottom). For the “Schema” dataset, we indicate the sum of the duration and word counts across eight brief stories. We do not include the temporally scrambled versions of the “It’s Not the Fall That Gets You Dataset” in the duration and word totals.
