Probability of Selecting a Target Under Target + Related Instructions

Under the target + related instructions you could select a target for one of three reasons.
- If you retrieve the verbatim trace for the item and make an Identity Judgment you should select the item. 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 St
- You could respond based on your response bias. The probability of responding due to response bias when given the Target+Related instructions is bT+R
So the equation for selecting a target under the target+related instructions is:
I + (1-I)St + (1-I)(1-St)bT+R
