Participants saw 9 word lists, 3 in each of 3 conditions—IFR, DFR, and CDFR. After each list a song was played for 1 minute, and participants’ familiarity with the song was assessed. The CDFR condition is illustrated in more detail on the right with timing information shown under the timeline arrow. This condition included the presentation of three 9-word lists (grey screens). An inter-word interval preceded each of the 9 words (white screens with grey frames) and was filled with an arithmetic task. A longer interval was inserted after the last word, just before the recall test. At the end of that final interval participants saw the word ‘Recall’ and invited to freely recall the words they remembered (white screen with black frame). They were then given a cued recall for three of the words (black screens).

Here the data are re-plotted from Fig 2 with all conditions (IFR, DFR and CDFR) plotted for Controls (a) and Amnesia (b) separately. Note that both groups show a reduction of recency in DFR compared to IFR, and a return of recency in CDFR compared to DFR.
