Figure 5.

The joint effect of context and stimulus information on probability of identifying a word correctly, displayed on axes where points are spaced according to the logit of the indicated probabilities. The x axis corresponds to the logit of the probability of identifying a target word when presented without context; in the experiment (Tulving et al., 1964), this probability was manipulated by using different exposure durations ranging from 0 to 120 ms. Two curves are plotted, one for cases in which an eight-word context was provided (e.g., for the target raspberries: “We all like jam made from strawberries and”), and one for the case in which only the last four words of the context was provided. The curves show that the context and stimulus information have additive effects on the logit of the probability of identifying the stimulus correctly. From Morton (1969). Reprinted with permission.
