Note: Parameter values in brackets are not free to vary. Given the best-fitting location and scale parameters of the log-normal encoding distribution (μ_E, μ_E1, and σ_E), the mean encoding time for the lag-2 through lag-5 serial positions is 148.7, whereas the mean encoding time for the lag-1 serial position is 88.6. The standard deviation of the encoding time for lag-2 through lag-5 is 61.8, whereas for lag-1 it is 36.8.
