Figure 6.

Probabilities that subjects begin their recall with the masked word (M) or the word one (−1) or two (−2) words prior to the masked word or the word one (+1) or two (+2) words following the masked word. Data are also shown for the probability of first recall of items in the same relative positions in the control lists. Figure 6A shows these data for the slow presentation rate and Figure 6B shows these data for the fast presentation rate. Error bars represent one standard error.
