The Use of Iambic Pentameter in the

suggests that participants perceived global groupings to be more salient than local
groupings in both prime durations. There was no main effect of prime duration, F(1, 34)
< 1. This result suggests that there was no difference in reaction times across the 50 ms
and 4000 ms prime durations. There was no interaction of scale and prime duration, F (1,
34) < 1. This result suggests that there is no significant difference between global
facilitation for the 50ms and 4000ms prime durations. Likewise, this result suggests that
there is no significant difference in local facilitation between the 50ms and 4000ms prime
durations.

Figure 27A, depicts a box plot of global and local facilitation means for all
conditions in Experiment 1. The box plot provides additional information about the skew,
cortiles and median of the distribution of means for each condition. These specific values
can be found in Table 1. Additionally, the pictures presented in Figure 27B, C, D, and E
depict the distribution of raw global and local grouping reaction times for each prime
duration. These figures provide additional information about the distributions. As one can
