Table 1.

Number of participants who showed accuracy levels of A-prime > 0.85 or A-prime < 0.15 in the pre-learning stage (24 participants in each condition).

Condition A′ > 0.85 A′ < 0.15 High persistency
High-saliency High-info 6/24 9/24
Mid-info 5/24 8/24
Total 11/48 17/48 28/48
Low-saliency High-info 2/24 4/24
Mid-info 0/24 3/24
Total 2/48 7/48 9/48

These A-prime values indicate participants that were highly persistent in categorizing creatures based on the predetermined feature dimension or one of the two irrelevant feature dimensions, respectively. An A-prime score of 0.85 roughly matches d-prime (d′) = 1.5, and is at about 80% correct.
