Conjunction Search | ||||
Target Present | 2.82±.02 [661 ms] | 2.77±.02 [589 ms] | .002±.0004 [3 ms/item] | |

This table represents the main effect of target from the ANOVA—a standard effect in visual search where target present trials have a faster response time (RT) than target absent trials. The log transformed response time (RT), RT intercept, and RT slope in both the conjunction search task and in the spatial configuration search task show this effect.
