Figure 3.
MD is greater for modal versus non-modal response trajectories only when valence interpretations are made under low (and not high) cognitive load. (A) Under low cognitive load, we find a replication of the bias × interpretation outcome interaction found in Experiment 1 (compare to Figure 2). (B) Under high cognitive load, the bias × interpretation outcome interaction is mitigated. Together these scatterplots illustrate the significant 3-way bias × interpretation outcome × cognitive load interaction on MD (p = 0.007, η2 = 0.091).
