Data are presented as mean±sd or n. Disease duration is expressed as the percentage of life spent diagnosed as asthmatic. Cue rank is the rank order of a cue's weight in relation to the weights of the other three cues. Judgments of replicated cases r≥0.6; n = 21. NS: nonsignificant. #: p = 0.006; ¶: p = 0.05; +: p = 0.02.
