Figure 4

Reaction time differences found for SR and OR recognition in Mnemonic Discrimination task and to a lesser extent in the Match-to-Sample task. (A) Race (p < 0.05) and correctness (p < 0.005) significantly affect reaction time means in the mnemonic discrimination test, however there is no interaction of the two. A post hoc multiple comparisons test finds reaction time differences are associated with accuracy for OR but not SR face discriminations, where longer responses are linked to correct discriminations. (The main effect of race and post-hoc comparisons are labeled on figure A as * and ***, respectively). (B) An analogous analysis of variance of the Match-to-Sample data finds only a main effect of correctness on reaction time (p < 0.05) However, a post-hoc test finds reaction times are associated with accuracy for OR but not SR faces (p < 0.05), where quicker responses are linked to accuracy. (The post-hoc comparisons are labeled on figure B as *).
