Regional primacy	.235*
Regional recency	.054
Standard primacy	.051
Standard recency	−.123
Delayed primacy	.218*
Delayed recency	.196*

Note: Regional scores = primacy/recency words recalled divided by total number of primacy/recency words presented; Standard scores = primacy/recency words recalled divided by total number of words recalled; Delayed scores = proportion of delayed words recalled for primacy and recency; * = correlation significant at p < .01.
