q2 · i? · causal · r2

Procedural description of the post-test in the same experiment: recall was tested in three successive fill-in trials plus "fourth trial 10 days after the third trial". The article treats this as evidence of longer-term memorization but prints no separate delayed-trial statistic, so the delayed effect is descriptive only.

"Data were collected scoring post -test in which participants answered to one, two, and three trials of filling in word list in succession, and fourth trial 10 days after the third trial"
