Long-term effects of repetition and emotional semantic primings. (A) Experimental design for Synchronic Experiment #1. (B–F) Synchronic Experiment #1: (B) Choice Preference (as the proportion of the chosen face over a total of 3 trials) at day 1 and day 2. (C) Memory Ratio, calculated as the number of faces that were chosen again on day 2 over the total number of choices. (D) Response time separated by chosen frequency (i) or group (ii). (E) Response time for Control #1. (F) Probability Distribution of reported confidence. Areas show the density probability distribution; yellow and grey lines show the cumulative probability. Differences in the cumulative probabilities were analysed by the Kolmogorov–Smirnov (KS) Test: the arrow revealed the highest distance between distributions. (G–K) Synchronic Experiment #2: (G) Choice Preference (as the proportion of the chosen face over a total of 3 trials) at day 1 and day 2. (H) Memory Ratio, calculated as the number of faces that were chosen again on day 2 over the total number of choices. (I) Response time separated by chosen emotional valence (i) or group (ii). (J) Response time for Control #1. (K) Probability Distribution of reported confidence. (L) Stated reasons for the choices of day 1 and day 2. Spider chart shows frequency of selection of each reason. Bars shown mean ± SEM. The grey dashed line represents the expected proportion for random choice (null hypothesis). #p = 0.0567, *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001.
