Table 1.

Averages for transformed data by Set Size.

Set Size p(WM) (N=69) p(LTM) (N=69) LTM/WM ratio (N=69) LTM/WM ratio (adjusted) (N=103) Items in WM (k) (N=103)

2 items .96 (.06) .52 (.20) 0.54 (0.20) 0.48 (0.23) 1.92 (0.12)
4 items .83 (.14) .32 (.16) 0.38 (0.19) 0.33 (0.20) 3.27 (0.61)
6 items .74 (.20) .25 (.14) 0.37 (0.26) 0.32 (0.31) 4.31 (1.28)
8 items .66 (.24) .21 (.13) 0.39 (0.33) 0.35 (0.42) 4.90 (2.18)

Note. Values in Parenthesis represent Standard Deviations. The first LTM/WM ratio includes data only from participants who had no negative values of either p(WM) or p(LTM) at any set size. For the second LTM/WM ratio, we multiplied p(WM) and p(LTM) with the relevant set size. Values of WM k < 1 were replaced with 1, and values of p(LTM) × Set Size ≤ 0 were replaced with zero.
