Table 1. Pilot study data indicating no practice effects.

Means with standard deviations in parenthesis for each outcome measure, and p-values for comparisons between matrices. No significant differences were found for any of the outcome measures between the counterbalanced first and second matrices when both matrices were performed with the creativity cue (Cued condition) or when both matrices were performed without the creativity cue (Uncued condition), indicating no practice effects.
