Table 4.

Regions of Interest (ROI) used to examine effects of Confidence Level (CONF: High or Low) and Recognition Accuracy (ACC: Correct or Incorrect) during recognition trials.

Note: Main effects of condition (CONF, ACC) and interactions between conditions or group (Age: Younger or Older) from a Mixed ANOVA are reported. For regions with significant interactions, results from relevant within groups ANOVAs are reported. Partial eta-squared (ηp2) values are reported as a measure of effect size.
