a Schematic diagram of the task in Experiment 2. The sequence of 36 images was segmented as 4 items per event. Three pair types were tested for recency judgments, marked by red, light blue, and blue square brackets, representing within-event pairs with one intervening item (short for Within Lag1 in the figure), across-event pairs with three intervening items (short for Across Lag3 in the figure) and across-event pairs with one intervening item (short for Across Lag1 in the figure), respectively. b Box plots of group averaged temporal order memory for within and across-event pairs for lag1 and lag3 (n = 27). A one-way repeated measures ANOVA on the accuracy of recency judgments showed a significant effect of Pair Type (F(1.448, 37.64) = 18.63, p < 0.001, η2 = 25.47%). Simple effect analyses showed that TOM was significantly better for within-event pairs than across-event pairs (t(26) = 4.820, p < 0.001, two-sided, q < 0.05, FDR corrected for multiple comparisons), for within-event pairs at lag1 than for across-event pairs at lag3 (t(26) = 4.524, p < 0.001, two-sided, q < 0.05, FDR corrected), and for within-event pairs at lag1 than for across-event pairs at lag3 (t(26) = 4.524, p < 0.001, two-sided, q < 0.05, FDR corrected). Numbers in red denote event boundaries. The boxes show the inter-quartile range (IQR) and the median. Whiskers in box plots represent the minimum and maximum in the dataset. The asterisk (*) represents statistical significance at p < 0.05. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
