Overall recall was calculated as an average of prices recalled from immediate post-test to 7-day post-test.
Forgetting was calculated as the difference between prices recalled from immediate post-test to 7-day post-test. A negative value would indicate more items were recalled at the 7-day post-test than were recalled at the immediate post-test.
