Table 3.
Proportions of Switches During Recall to Alternative Forms when Typical Items Occurred First or Last in Presented Sentences (Experiments 1, 2, and 3, including post-tests and replications)
| Switch proportions
|
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Experiment | Condition | Typical last | Typical first | Typical-leader effect |
| Experiment 1 (taxonomic categories) | Same category | .214 | .085 | .129 |
| Different category | .136 | .134 | .002 | |
| Experiment 2 (ad hoc categories) | Ad hoc category evoked | .106 | .097 | .009 |
| No category evoked | .120 | .175 | −.055 | |
| Post-test on NP-order preference | .510* | .490* | .020 | |
| Post-test on no-context recall | .231 | .224 | .007 | |
| Post-test on taxonomic category cued recall | .160 | .086 | .073 | |
| Post-test on ad hoc category cued recall | .110 | .110 | −.0004 | |
| Experiment 3 (major phrases in sentences) | Same phrase (presentation scoring) | .229 | .175 | .055 |
| Different phrase (presentation scoring) | .089 | .125 | −.036 | |
| Same phrase (production scoring) | .224 | .149 | .076 | |
| Different phrase (production scoring) | .117 | .187 | −.070 | |
| Experiment 3 replication | Same phrase (production scoring) | .160 | .109 | .051 |
| Different phrase (production scoring) | .073 | .057 | .016 | |
These numbers are not switch proportions, but proportion choosing a particular order.
Note. Typical-leader effect is not always identical to the difference of the typical-first and typical-last columns due to rounding error.
