The mathematical relation between levels of complementarity for new-similar items and the processes of target recollection (parameter R of the conjoint recognition model) and context recollection (parameter P). p(O?) is the probability of accepting new-similar items on old probes, and p(NS?) is the probability of accepting them on new-similar probes. Complete complementarity [the p(O?) = p(NS?) curve] is observed when P = R/(1− R). Partial complementarity that is realty-consistent [p(O?) > p(NS?); right side of graph] is observed when P < R/(1− R)), and partial complementarity that is realty-reversed [p(O?) < p(NS?); left side of graph] is observed when P > R/(1− R).
