Question

Essam's ability to identify famous names was not tested immediately after completing the task, so he may have had more time to forget the correct pronunciation of some names. This could lead him to mistakenly identify nonfamous names as famous. Meanwhile, Dane's testing was immediate, and he would not have had the opportunity to forget the correct pronunciation of any names. Therefore, it is unlikely that he would describe famous names as being nonfamous. However, there is no reason to believe that either participant would be more likely to identify novel nonfamous names as being famous or to identify previously seen nonfamous names as being famous.
