Word pairs (old/new or new/new) were presented during test trials, and participants indicated if they contained an old word by responding "remember", "know" or "new" in Experiments 1A and 1B, and by responding "strong no", "weak no", "weak yes", or "strong yes" in Experiment 2.

"They contain only six question questions and they are all yes-no answers," he says.
Serial dilutions of the wild-type and respective mutants were plated on YES, and YES plates containing FOA. DAPI staining were used to determine the percentage of lagging chromosomes as described previously (Gregan et al. 2007).
YES agar contained 1%% yeast extract (Difco), 1 % sucrose (Sigma-Aldrich, St Louis, MO, USA) and 1.2 % agar (Difco).
My paper holds: "yes, they are".
Those two factors mean the promised Tory civil war is more like a fight in a pub car park: messy, yes, but contained.
Cells were grown to mid-log phase, serially diluted five-fold and spotted onto YES plates or YES plates were irradiated with the indicated doses of UV irradiation using a Stratalinker (Stratagene) or YES plates containing 10 or 12 μg/ml thiabendazole (TBZ), 5 mM hydroxyurea (HU), 7 μM camptothecin (CPT), 0.005% methyl methanesulfonate (MMS) and incubated for 2-3 dats at 32°C.
According to MTC, two equiprobable "yes"'s contain the same quantity of information, no matter whether their corresponding questions are "have the lights of your car been left switched on for too long, without recharging the battery?" or "would you marry me?".
