Each experiment is saved as a space delimited file, where the file names correspond to experiment names in the manuscript. 

For experiments 1a, 1b and 1c, the columns correspond to the following R code: 
colnames(experiment1a)=c('sub','trial','N','study','resp','err','SOA','ProbePos','ProbeLoc',paste('loc',1:8,sep=''),paste('study',1:8,sep=''),'RT','stimDur','retentionDur','seed')

That is, the first column indicates the subject ID number, second the trial number, etc. The paste(..) bits mean that those first 8 columns indicate the location of each of the study stimuli (a -9 serves as a place holder when fewer than 8 stimuli were shown on a trial), and the following 8 columns show the colors of each of those stimuli. 

Note that across experiments some participants do not have complete datasets as they did not complete the experiment, and these were removed from analysis in the manuscript.  

Columns for Experiment 2 are slightly different as there are up to 10 study stimuli:  
colnames(experiment2)=c('sub','trial','N','study','resp','err','SOA','ProbePos','ProbeLoc',paste('study',1:10,sep=''),paste('loc',1:10,sep=''),'RT','stimDur','retentionDur','seed')

For Experiments 3a and 3b the columns are: 
colnames(experiment3a)=c('sub','trial','N','SimSeq','study','resp','err','probedOrder','SOA','probed','probedLoc',paste('studyCol',1:4,sep=''),paste('loc',1:4,sep=''),paste('presOrder',1:4,sep=''),'RT','stimDur','retentionDur','seed')

For Experiment 3c the columns are slightly different as indicators have been included to denote which block each trial comes from. To be honest, I think this was just lazy experimental programming because here the blocks just indicate where participants were invited to take a break, as in all experiments, but I've left it in for posterity.  colnames(experiment3c)=c('sub','block','blockTrial','trial','N','SimSeq','study','resp','err','probedOrder','SOA','probed','probedLoc',paste('studyCol',1:4,sep=''),paste('loc',1:4,sep=''),paste('presOrder',1:4,sep=''),'RT','stimDur','retentionDur','seed')
