An investigation of response competition in retrieval-induced forgetting

Figures & data

Table 1. Mean proportion of positive recognition responses as a function of retrieval practice condition in Experiment 1

Retrieval practice condition	Item status
	Old (hit rate)		New (false-alarm rate)
		S.D.		S.D.
Rp+	0.92	0.09	0.15	0.11
Nrp	0.70	0.13	0.14	0.11
Rp−	0.65	0.16	0.15	0.11

Notes: Values are mean proportions of positive recognition responses made to presented (hit) and new (false-alarm) items. The false-alarm rates to new Rp+ and new Rp− items represent a common proportion (“yes” responses to new items from practiced categories).

Table 2. Mean proportion of positive recognition responses as a function of retrieval practice condition in Experiment 2

Retrieval practice condition	Item status
	Old (hit rate)		New (false-alarm rate)
		S.D.		S.D.
Rp+	0.94	0.09	0.16	0.17
Nrp	0.83	0.12	0.18	0.15
Rp−	0.76	0.15	0.16	0.17

Notes: Values are mean proportions of positive recognition responses made to presented (hit) and new (false-alarm) items. The false-alarm rates to new Rp+ and new Rp− items represent a common proportion (“yes” responses to new items from practiced categories).
