Experiment | Turn size | Within-object error correlation | Between-objects error correlation | Powera |
---|---|---|---|---|
1 (n = 16) | 70° | .375 (.066) | .369 (.035) | .50 |
1 (n = 16) | 200° | .395 (.076) | .386 (.069) | .75 |
1 (n = 32) | 70° and 200° | .385 (.071) | .378 (.055) | .89 |
2 and 3 (n = 12) | 70° and 200°b | .430 (.117) | .413 (.093) | .42 |
All (n = 44) | 70° and 200°c | .398 (.087) | .387 (.068) | .94 |
Note. None of the comparisons showed significant differences. The n values refer to the number of correlation pairs used to calculate the means, and in the paired t tests, not the number of participants. Notice that these correlations are low by the standards of circular statistics, in which both positive and negative correlations are calculated, expressed on the scale 0 to 1, and the lower of the two is discarded (Batschelet, 1981).
Calculated as ability of one-tailed paired t test to detect medium effect sizes (Cohen's d = .5) at α = .05.
Post-disorientation turns only.
Combined data from pre- and post-disorientation turns.
