Table 2.
Results of simulation of the repeats and no-repeats sequences in Walthew and Gilchrist (2006). Note that for nearly one-quarter of the no-repeat condition, the next trial is actually more likely to be sparse.
Number of preceding three trials on sparse side | Proportion of trials | Probability that next trial will be on the sparse side | ||
---|---|---|---|---|
no-repeat condition | repeat condition | no-repeat condition | repeat condition | |
0 | 23 | 30 | 0.55 | 0.33 |
1 | 55 | 44 | 0.31 | 0.33 |
2 | 21 | 22 | 0.17 | 0.33 |
