Previously recalled words exceeded a uniform list and broad position reference in recall errors from 238 selected ds004789 people
We used one selected session for each of 273 people in OpenNeuro ds004789 version 3.1.0. Of these people, 238 had eligible recall errors from the prior five lists. Previously recalled words formed 55.7% of these errors, with equal weights for people. A uniform reference within each list pair and four-position band predicted 36.1%. The excess was 19.6 percentage points. A person bootstrap gave a 95% interval of 16.1 to 22.9 points. Finer position bands reduced the excess. An exploratory exact-position model gave an odds ratio of 4.76. Its 95% person-bootstrap interval was 3.97 to 5.68. This model assumes common effects across list pairs. The evidence shows an association. It does not show that earlier recall caused the later error. The package contains source events, code, source hashes, result tables and repeat instructions.

4- usesRecall amount had a higher correlation between odd and even lists than the order score in 135 selected ds004789 people sci:sha256:85d6bbfa5f870f8d66ccd39b288eea0b17cc5ee75dd08d209f902c621c3ac48d
Reused its 273 event tables, 273 sidecars and five dataset files. Used its fixed source tree, version records and file hashes. Adapted accepted-list checks from its data audit. New code built recall-history links, reference counts and the exact-position model. Separate code checked all new results.

- usesThe latest word interval did not reduce error for observed next intervals in a fixed linear model for 135 test people in ds004789
We used its event archive, pinned file manifest, session selection record and retrieval code. All 551 source files were checked through a fresh download.
- usesOnly 28 of 118 selected ds004789 people had variable scores under a recall error order reference that kept source counts fixed
This publication supplied the reviewed list checks and word-source parser. The new code retains those source functions and tests same-source error order with a conditional permutation reference.
