Scoring
• First, we will score each of your recalled lists
I will show the correct answers with an extra bolded
word that was not on the list (called a “lure” word)
– Compare the lists and underline each correctly
recalled old word
– Place an X beside each incorrectly recalled new word
– If you wrote down the bolded word, then circle it
(and mark with an X)
Then:
– Count number of correctly recalled old words (out of
105)
– Count number of incorrectly recalled new words
– Count number of “lure” words (i.e. the bolded word
at bottom of correct list) (out of 7)

For the Researcher: Analyses
• Recall
– # correct/105 = % correct
– # lures/7 = % false memory
– # lures/# new words = FM for lures
• Recognition
– For blue (old): # 2s/14 = % correct id as old word
– For red (lure): # 2s/7 = % false memory
– For black (new): # 2s/21 = % incorrect id as old word
