ap Data are mean (SEM) for congruent, incongruent, true, related lure, total responses collapsed across confidence levels, and high-confidence ‘sure’ responses. Values were obtained by comparing either true hit rates or related lure rates with unrelated false-alarms with the following formula: Response rate/(Response rate + Unrelated false alarm rate) (Urgolites et al., 2015). Single-sample t test showed that each of the conditions was higher than chance (>0.50). In other words, subjects were able to distinguish both true and related lure words from unrelated new words (all p < 0.001).
