Testing the significance of deviation from chance levels for cue strings of length 3. “Mean difference” is the difference between the average empirical chance level and the average performance for that position in the list. Even with a concern for statistical significance raised by the problem of multiple comparisons, it is clear that observers perform better than chance.
