Figure 2. Behavioral results for intentions.

Figure 2

A. Accuracy. Percentages of accuracy are shown for every type of intentions (NI: new intentions; RI: repeated intentions; NU: new utilization; RU: repeated utilization; NT: new transport; RT: repeated transport). Accuracy was higher for repeated intentions (72%) than for new intentions (58%). Although no main effect of intention type or object was observed (P>0.05), a significant interaction was observed between intention and object types (F(1,23) = 111.12). A significant interaction was also observed between intention and object types as a function of RS effects (F(1,23) = 33.3; P<0.0001), suggesting that stimuli were better recognized when both intentions were repeated as opposed to either being new. Results are reported at the P<0.001 level. B. Reaction times. Reaction times (in millisecond) are shown for every type of intentions (NI: new intentions; RI: repeated intentions; NU: new utilization; RU: repeated utilization; NT: new transport; RT: repeated transport). A significant main RS effect was observed for intentions across types (F(1,23) = 18.75; P<0.0004), suggesting that new intentions (567 ms) are faster recognized than repeated intentions (649 ms). Results are reported at the P<0.001 level.
