The Use of Iambic Pentameter in the

was used to compare reaction times of participants who used an alternative size scale
after training with reaction times of participants who used the same size scale. There was
no main effect for practice condition (global or local), F < 1, or test condition (global or
local), F < 1. Furthermore, there was no significant interaction, between the practice and
test conditions, F < 1. These results suggest that participants in this experiment preformed
equally well at grouping by a particular scale (global or local) in a test phase when
trained by the same scale or an alternative scale in a preceding practice session.
Figure 34 depicts a box plot for all conditions in Experiment 3. The box plot
provides additional information about the skew, cortiles and median of the distribution
for each condition. These specific values can be found in Table 4.

Figure 34. Box plot showing distribution of mean reaction times for all conditions of Experiment 3. Condition ‘GG’
was one in which a global practice session was followed by a global test session. Condition ‘LG’ was one in which a
local practice session was followed by a global test session. Condition ‘LL’ was one in which a local practice session
was followed by a local test session. Condition ‘GL’ was one in which a global practice session was followed by a local
test session.
