A, B, C, D: Treatment given (digram-balanced with order & subjects)

n, x, y, z: Context levels. `n' equals low. (cyclic-square counterbalanced with order and subjects) (`z' used only for practice trials).

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6: Specific 3-set target sets. (cyclic-square counterbalanced with condition and subjects) (Sets #1 and #2 used only for practice trials).

Replacement Order for Targets

Randomized without replacement from 1-3, per trial.
