Section 3.3. Results
The data for this experiment are reported in Table 4.2 with the
proportion of items given a ‘same’, ‘similar’ or ‘new’ response reported as a
function of item type (same, similar or new), scene component (object or
background) and emotion of object (negative, neutral or positive) 2 . (For
statistical analysis of the responses given to different items (SSN) see
Appendix 4.1.) The results were analysed by calculating specific recognition
and general recognition in the same way as for Experiment 5 (see Figure 4.4).
Repeated measures ANOVA were conducted on the data. All analyses reported
are based on items that were the same at study and test. When assumptions for
sphericity are not met this is shown by degrees of freedom with decimal places.
In these instances the Greenhouse-Geisser adjusted p values are reported.
2 The level of chance for correct recognition performance was 33% for each item type. i.e. 33%
chance of giving ‘same’ response to same item. The level was the same for objects and
backgrounds. There were 24 each of same, similar and new objects and backgrounds.
