Example study and test trial in the spatial reconstruction task. First, six stimuli were presented on the screen. All stimuli were either all from the same category or three stimuli were each from two distinct categories. The stimuli then disappeared for a brief 4 sec delay before reappearing at the top of the computer screen. Participants had unlimited time to use the mouse and drag each stimulus back to its remembered location. Participants could rearrange the stimuli as many times as they wanted to and indicated that they were finished with their reconstruction by pressing the space bar.
