All variables found in Experiments 1 and 2 that were added by the stepwise procedure. Note that some non-significant variables are added because the stepwise comparison is based on the Akaike information criterion [40]. These results reveal significant quadratic effects of complexity in both experiments. Complexity and squared complexity were shifted and scaled to have mean of Inline graphic and standard deviation of Inline graphic before being entered into the regression.
