TY - JOUR AU - Mueser, Gayle E. AB - S is read messages about a number of variables. Occasionally he is asked about the present state of one of these variables. Correct answers decreased as the number of variables increased and, if there were more than 2 variables, was lower when they all had the same set of 4 possible states. The probability of a particular question being answered correctly depended on the number of questions and messages intervening between the question under consideration and the message that determined the correct answer.
