U-shaped curve for the transitional model. The blue solid curve represents the fit of a GAM, relating complexity as measured by the transitional MDM (x-axis) to probability of terminating attention (y-axis). Dashed curves show GAM standard errors. The GAM fits include the effect of complexity (negative log probability) and the effect of position in the sequence. Note, the error bars and GAM errors do not take into account subject effects. Vertical spikes along the x-axis represent data points collected at each complexity value. The fuchsia diamonds represent the raw probabilities of terminating attention binned along the x-axis.
