^aFor Poisson regressions (i.e. false memory count), β (Exp (B)) is given as 1 for no effect, with values > 1 for positive effects and < 1 for negative effects. For linear regressions (i.e. true memory count), β is given as 0 for no effect with values < 0 for negative effects and > 0 for positive effects
