Discrimination. Non-speech stimuli.

Language Button Button by Covariation Button by Difference Button by Covariation by Difference
Japanese F < 1 F(1, 8) = 26.968, p = .001* F < 1 F < 1
Norwegian F < 1 F(1,8) = 1.357, p > .10 F < 1 F < 1
Italian F(1,8) = 2.7, p > .10 F < 1 F(1,8) = 1.999, p > .10 F < 1
English F(1,13) = 1.254, p > .10 F(1,13) = 5.963, p = .03* F(2, 26) = 1.97, p > .10 F < 1
