Fig. 2: Quality of memory for congruent and incongruent associations over time.

We examined the percent of total congruent and incongruent trials that were correctly retrieved as a function of memory granularity. Memories were considered coarse if participants retrieved the correct context an object had been paired with but not the specific scene and were considered detailed if they retrieved the specific scene. Coarse and detailed memories together comprise total memory accuracy. Error bars reflect standard error of the mean adjusted for within-subject design. N = 23 participants across the short delay and N = 19 participants across the long delay. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
