Testing (dummy-coded: testing = 1, restudy = 0). Criterial test 2 (dummy-coded: Criterial test 2 = 1, Criterial test 1 = 0). Criterial test 3 (dummy-coded: Criterial test 3 = 1, Criterial test 1 = 0). Low retrievability (dummy-coded: low retrievability = 1, high retrievability = 0). Medium retrievability (dummy-coded: medium retrievability = 1, high retrievability = 0). ap-values refer to one-tailed tests for β > 0. Other p-values refer to two-tailed tests.
