Mean recognition task accuracy for Experiment 3.

<p>Photos presented with baseline tones represent trials where the tested scene matched a scene that was presented concurrently with baselines tones in the RSVP stream. Conversely, photos presented concurrently with target tones represent trials where the tested scene matched the scene that was presented with the unique tone in the RSVP stream. In the dual-task condition, recognition accuracy for photos presented concurrently with baseline tones was 53.59%±1.65%, while recognition accuracy for photos presented concurrently with target tones was 64.78%±3.69%. A <i>t</i> test reveals that recognition accuracy for photos presented concurrently with baseline tones was not significantly higher than chance levels, <i>t</i>(10) = 0.7290, <i>p</i> = 0.4827. A paired-samples <i>t</i> test revealed a significant difference between recognition task accuracy for test scenes that had been presented concurrently with baseline tones versus target tones, suggesting that scenes presented concurrently with target tones were better encoded into memory, <i>t</i>(10) = 3.573, <i>p</i> = 0.005. Error bars represent s.e.m. (**<i>p</i><0.01).
