Simons, jss30@cam.ac.uk Department of Psychology, University of Cambridge ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ AgeingPrecision_Data.xlsx created 27/08/2019 Excel sheet containing anonymised behavioural data from three experiments Probability of successful memory retrieval (pT) and the precision of memory retrieval (Kappa) were estimated with mixture modelling code available at https://www.paulbays.com/code/JV10/index.php Variable names: Participant = Participant number AgeGroup = Age group of participant, "young" or "old" Loc_pT = Probability of successful retrieval in the location condition Loc_Kappa = Memory precision in the location condition Col_pT = Probability of successful retrieval in the colour condition Col_Kappa = Memory precision in the colour condition Ori_pT = Probability of successful retrieval in the orientation condition Ori_Kappa = Memory precision in the orientation condition Vividness = Mean memory vividness LTM_pT = Probability of successful retrieval in the long-term memory task LTM_Kappa = Memory precision in the long-term memory task WM_pT = Probability of successful retrieval in the working memory task WM_Kappa = Memory precision in the working memory task Perc_pT = Probability of successful target reports in the perception task Perc_Kappa = Precision in the perception task
