Table 2.

Probability of ordering errors as a function of list length in Experiment 1.

List length presented	Number of lists errors	Ordering	Probablity	p/(LL − 1)
3 words	587	1	0.002	0.001
4 words	580	19	0.033	0.011
5 words	458	31	0.068	0.017
6 words	268	35	0.131	0.026
7 words	76	16	0.211	0.035

Probability = Number of ordering errors/Number of lists presented.

p / (LL − 1) = Probability / (List length − 1).
