Note. PC = Proportion Congruence; In this table, RED and BLUE and WHITE and PURPLE are serving the role of PC-25 and PC-75 items whereas PINK and GREEN and BLACK and YELLOW are serving the role of PC-50 items. List-Wide PC-33 = Mostly Incongruent list; List-Wide PC-67 = Mostly Congruent list. |C| refers to the absolute value of the coefficient of contingency, which reflects the degree to which word and color values are contingent. The sign (+/-) refers to whether the conditional probability of congruent stimuli (+) or incongruent stimuli (-) was relatively large. It was calculated for the entire list (matrix) of items following the formula provided by Melara and Algom (2003).
