, as
measured by the number of times the participant typed the
remembering response with respect to appropriate non-
compound (1 shape) and compound (4 shapes) substitute
stimuli. Specifically, remembering responses were defined as
the individual typing a particular three-letter response in the
presence of the appropriate substitute stimuli within 5 s of that
stimulus appearing (e.g., typing FER). Figure 1 depicts the
non-compound and compound substitute stimuli employed
during the experiment. A secondary measure was the number
of false positives (or inaccurate memories) with respect to
non-compound and compound remembering responses. That
is, how often did the participant engage in the remembering
responses in the absence of the substitute stimulus as de-
scribed in the initial association conditions (instructions)?
Data were collected on both partial and full false positives.
Partial false positives involved the participants typing any part
of the remembering response, whereas full false positives
involved the participants typing the entire remembering re-
sponse. A final measure was the background puzzle perfor-
mance, which involved manipulating pieces of a puzzle sim-
ilar to Tetris
