Table 1. Parameter Estimates, Confidence Intervals, and G2 Goodness-of-Fit Values for the Four-parameter Two-high Threshold MPT Model of Source Monitoring under Different Conditions of Expectancy and Attention in Experiment 1.

Item Expectancy D d g b G2(6)
Full Attention 5.75
Expected Doctor .66 (.60-.72) .62 (.51-.72) .48 (.41-.56) .40 (.30-.49)

Equal Expectancy .83 (.80-.86) .67 (.59-.73) .47 (.38-.57) .09 (.00-.19)
Divided Attention 10.65
Expected Doctor .24 (.16-.32) .32 (.05-.60) .72 (.68-.77) .57 (.52-.62)
Expected Lawyer .15 (.07-.24) .17 (.00-.56) .29 (.24-.34) .56 (.52-.61)
Equal Expectancy .35 (.28-.43) .26 (.07-.44) .57 (.51-.62) .41 (.35-.47)

Note. These are probability estimates that can range from 0 to 1. D = probability of item recognition; d = probability of remembering the source; g = probability of guessing that an item was presented by the doctor (estimates higher than the chance level of .5 indicate guessing bias towards doctor; estimates lower than .5 indicate guessing bias towards lawyer); b = probability of guessing that an item is old (chance level is .5). 95% confidence intervals are in parentheses. G2(6) values lower than 12.59 indicate a good fit of the model to the data.
