Strength of categorical encoding across conditions. (a) Results for all conditions that differed in only one factor from the Same Color reference condition (top row, bold font, open symbol). Data shows mean ± 1 bootstrapped SEM across participants. Bayes factors indicate relative support for a decrease in categorical encoding compared to Same Color. Comparison conditions are sorted by the magnitude of the observed effect. Asterisks indicate Bayes factor classifications (* moderate, ** strong, or *** extreme evidence). (b) Same as (a) for conditions that differed from the Distinct Colors reference condition in only one factor. Bayes factors indicate relative support for an increase in categorical encoding compared to Distinct Colors. Note that all three color conditions (Same Color, Similar Colors, Distinct Colors) appear in both panels.
