  1. Statistics from frequentist and Bayesian t-tests on the accuracy and percentage of choices for each symbol at the 24-hour choice test. BF01 > 3 reflects moderate evidence in favour of the null hypothesis. Cohen’s d and 95% confidence intervals are presented for frequentist t-tests, and the posterior median and 95% credible intervals for the Bayesian t-tests. All error % from the Bayesian analyses were < 4 × 10−4.
