Probability of Selecting a Target Under Related Instructions

Under the related instructions the following factors will influence the probability of you choosing a target

• If you retrieve the verbatim trace for the item you will make an Identity Judgment.  Under the Related instructions you should reject the item when you make an Identity Judgment.  The probability of making an identity judgment is I.
• You could retrieve the gist trace and make a Similarity Judgment.  The probability of making a similarity judgment for a target is S_t
• You could respond based on your response bias.  The probability of responding due to response bias when given the Related instructions is b_R

So the equation for selecting a target under the related instructions is:

         (1-I)S_t + (1-I)(1-S_t)b_R
