Mean reaction times for judgments during the study period
Task | Control | Shift, repeat | Shift, new | Switch cost |
---|---|---|---|---|
Size | 1336 (33) | 1405 (29) | 1626 (33) | 221a (18) |
Animacy | 1319 (34) | 1414 (32) | 1578 (35) | 164a (18) |
Combined | 1328 (33) | 1409 (30) | 1601 (33) | 192a (15) |
Note. These data are from the judgments in the behavioral data from the source-manipulation experiment; the CMR model did not simulate these judgments. Reaction times are reported in milliseconds and are followed by standard error of subject means. Shift, repeat refers to items in the task-shift condition where the encoding task is the same as that for the preceding item. Shift, new refers to items in the task-shift condition where the encoding task is different from the preceding item.
Significant at p < 0.0001 (t-test).
