Figure 2 caption reporting the omnibus congruency × reactivation ANOVAs for both experiments; "No interactions between congruency and reactivations were found in either experiment", while both main effects were significant. A supplementary recombination of rating bins left results unchanged.

"2 × 3 Repeated measures ANOVAs showed significant main effects of congruency ( P = .009 and P < .001) and reactivation ( P = .002 and P < .001) on cued associative memory for both experiments. No interactions between congruency and reactivations were found in either experiment."
