Table 3 Subjective 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). Each variable is rated on Likert scale (0 to 5). 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): T2: each pairwise comparison is significant; T3: non-significant difference between immediate recall and one-week recall, significant differences otherwise; T4: non-significant difference between one-week and one-month recall, significant differences otherwise; T5: significant difference only between one-week and one-month recall.
