Table 4.
List-specific Hits and False Alarms by Cue and Discrimination Condition in Experiment 3. List-specific false alarms in the plurality discrimination condition represent “yes” responses to distractor items, which were plurality-reversed versions of half of the List 1 words or List 2 words. Only pooled false alarms are reported in the new distractor condition, because all distractors were new and unrelated to the study list items.
