analysis of day 2 test. ANOVAs assessing noun vs. adjective targets (N.S. tests not included), early vs. late analysis windows (200-700 and 700-1200 msecs post-target onset), and cohort relevance (relevant = same form class as target) by item type (cohort vs. mean distractor proportions). Crucially, there are more looks to cohorts than distractors, and an interaction of item and relevance (the effect of target type was not significant, nor were any other interactions). Planned comparisons (below) reveal that the interaction stems from greater proportions for cohorts only in the relevant conditions.

Additional planned comparisons show this pattern holds for the early window.
