Memory at test: Mean (standard deviation) proportions of yes responses (i.e., old responses) on different item types in Experiment 1 and 2.

Note:
The overall memory accuracy is estimated by the difference in the proportion of yes responses to High-Match items and to all-new-P items.
Memory accuracy for the rule (i.e. the D feature) is estimated by the difference in the proportion of yes responses to High-Match items and to new-D items.
Memory accuracy for the overall appearance (i.e., P features) is estimated by the difference in the proportion of yes responses to High-Match items and to one-new-P items.
The scale ranges from 0 to 1, with 0 being chance performance.
