Data of Tulving, Mandler, & Baumal, 1964 (reproduction of 2021)

The data comes from Bradley-Garcia and 37 others (2021) . It is a near exact replication of the original study from (Tulving et al. 1964) .

The design is a (7) x 4 with: 7 levels of stimulus duration (within-subject) and 4 between-subject conditions. Additional variables included in the reproduction is the primary language of the participant in which he/she participated (mainly francophones and anglophones; and the gender (mainly male and female).
