(A) Lexical decision response times for real-word competitors of novel words trained on Day 1 (hence consolidated), Day 2 (unconsolidated), or untrained controls. Error bars show 1 SEM after between-subjects variability is removed, suitable for repeated measures comparisons (cf. Loftus & Masson, 1994). Statistical significance of planned pairwise comparisons (***p < .001, **p < .01, *p < .05, (*) p < .1, ns = nonsignificant). (B) Response times for novel words trained on Day 1 (consolidated), Day 2 (unconsolidated), or untrained controls in the auditory repetition test. Error bars and statistical significance as before. (C) Recognition memory performance for novel words trained on Day 1 or Day 2. (D) Rated strength of meaning for novel words trained on Day 1, Day 2, or untrained controls.
