Table 1. Mean word-stem completion proportions at test (relative to total number of word stems; with SDs in parentheses) in experiments 1 and 2.

Overall, total proportion of completed stems; remembered, stem completed with studied target word judged as studied; primed, stem completed with studied target word judged as unstudied; forgotten, stem completed with unstudied (i.e., nontarget) word; CR target, stem completed with unstudied target word judged as unstudied; CR nontarget, stem completed with unstudied nontarget word judged as unstudied. Differences of overall completion proportions from 1.0 are due to unscorable (e.g., inaudible) responses and uncompleted stems. Differences of overall completion proportions from the sum of the individual response categories (remembered plus primed plus nontarget for studied; CR target plus CR nontarget for unstudied) are because of small proportions of false alarms (stems completed with unstudied words judged as studied).
