Similarity of recall sequences of various individuals has been quantified utilizing mainly order-agnostic and some order-sensitive measures certain to memory study without agreement on any one preferred measure. Nevertheless, edit length actions have not been utilized to quantify the similarity of recall sequences in collaborative memory researches. In the current study, we examine a broad variety of similarity measures, showcasing commonalities and distinctions. Making use of simulations and behavioral information, we reveal that edit distances do determine a memory-relevant factor of similarity and capture information distinct from that captured by order-agnostic measures. We answer illustrative research concerns which show prospective programs of edit distances in collaborative and individual memory options and unveil the initial effect collaboration has on similarity.The Permutation Distancing Test (PDT) is a nonparametric test for assessing treatment effects in dependent single-..
