Error in table

In the original article, there was a mistake in Table 1 as published. Due to a tabulation error, the total number of critical lures recalled was reported incorrectly. The corrected Table 1 appears below. The authors apologize for this error and state that this does not change the scientific conclusions of the article in any way.

Table 1.

Mean recall performance for the four recall measures as a function of two background conditions (no noise vs. noise) used in the study.

Dependent measure No noise Noise

Mean number of themes correctly recalled per list 2.62 0.34 2.48 0.42
Total number of critical lures recalled 2.42 0.37 1.46 0.19
