Table 2 Assessments of memories from encoding to the last delayed retrieval: results of the repeated measures ANOVAs for time (linear mixed models with random intercepts for subjects, dataset averaged on participants). The range (min: max) and number of observations for the EAM scores are also provided. Alpha correction: adjusted ⍺ level of 0.004, Bonferroni family-wise correction of alpha inflation. The significant effects after alpha correction are in bold. Tukey post-hoc tests (pairwise comparisons): T1: significant difference only between immediate and one-week recall.
