Note For F tests, df for F1 = (1, 59), and df for F2 = (1,119). For t tests df for t1 = 59, and df for t2 = 119; For t tests the p-value is given for t1 if t1 < t2 or for t2 if t2 < t1, and these p-values are denoted as follows:

*

p < .05,

**

p < .01,

***

p < .001, n.s. p > .1; HF = high frequency, LF = low frequency, Freq. = word frequency effect; For the fixation time variables Freq. = LF–HF and preview benefit = invalid–valid. For the probability variables Freq. = HF–LF and preview benefit = valid–invalid.
