Notes. These are probability estimates that can range from 0 to 1. D = probability of item recognition; d = probability of remembering the source memory; 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.
