	Intact-1	MCI-1	AD	p	Post hoc
Primacy	7.3	4.6	3.3	<0.0001	MCI-1 vs. Intact-1, p < .0001 MCI-1 vs. AD, p < .0077
Recency	7.4	6.0	5.9	<0.0001	MCI-1 vs. Intact-1, p = .0003 MCI-1 vs. AD, p = .85
Recency/Primacy Ratio	0.01	0.25	0.31	<0.0001	MCI-1 vs. Intact-1, p < .0258 MCI-1 vs. AD, p < .0144

Note. Recency/Primacy Ratio = Recency-Primacy/ Recency+Primacy
