Control results were not available.

††

Results reported in Freedman and Martin (2001).

†††

Highest list length tested on the controls, results reported in Martin, Lesch, and Bartha (1999).

Abnormally large interference effects on accuracy (p against controls < .05).

**

Abnormally large interference effects on both untransformed and log-transformed RTs (both ps against controls < .05).
