Table 1 Statistical tests for experiment 1. Chi squared tests were used for within-individual analyses, and t-tests were used for group level analyses. Effect sizes for the chi-square tests were calculated using the formula, Cramer’s V, \(\:V=sqrt(X^2/(n*df\left)\right)\), where X2 is the chi-squared statistic, n is the number of trials and df is the degrees of freedom. Effect sizes for t-tests were calculated using the formula, Cohen’s d = (sample mean – expected mean)/sample standard deviation.
