Which beliefs it touches
- C1 What counts as learned backs it up
Priming doubled stem recall during practice (0.613 vs 0.312) with no change on the later stem-only test (0.501 vs 0.486): access under extra cues at practice is not later matched-cue access. Consistent with C1's criterion; not a kill-condition test (rejected as an attack 2026-09-29).
- C0 Retrieval beats restudy pushes against it
Retrieval success manipulated by priming did not change final recall after retrieval with feedback; bears on C0's 'correctly retrieved' clause; no restudy arm, single trial, immediate test. Queued, not a verdict.
