Note. Entries are means (and standard errors) of individuals’ ease-of-learning (EOL) judgments (corrected for pre-study recall test performance) as a function of whether items were selected for study or not. EOL = ease of learning judgment; easy = normatively easy items; medium = normatively moderately difficult items; difficult= normatively difficult items.
