Conceptual relatedness promotes memory generalization at the cost of detailed recollection.

Focusing on the test phase, we first ran a repeated measures ANOVA on test performance as a function of trial (old, new) and condition (conceptual, neutral), which revealed a main effect of trial ( F (1, 23) = 28.38, p < 0.001, partial η 2 = 0.55), a marginally significant main effect of condition ( F (1,23) = 4.37, p = 0.05, partial η 2 = 0.16), and a significant trial x condition interaction ( F (1,23) = 6.95, p = 0.01, partial η 2 = 0.23).
