Table 4.
Mean performance and effect size () for each measure of holistic processing for each subsample analyzed in Experiment 2.
| Measure | Sample | Mean 1 | Mean 2 | p | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| VHPT-F | Congruent | Incongruent | |||
| Male | 71.80 | 50.61 | 0.81 | <0.001 | |
| Female | 72.88 | 52.86 | 0.81 | <0.001 | |
| ≤45 years | 71.06 | 52.12 | 0.79 | <0.001 | |
| Congruency effect | Congruent | Incongruent | |||
| Male | 2.17 | 1.60 | 0.49 | <0.001 | |
| Female | 2.28 | 1.63 | 0.63 | <0.001 | |
| ≤45 years | 2.25 | 1.59 | 0.62 | <0.001 | |
| Alignment effect | Misaligned | Aligned | |||
| Male | 73.16 | 79.47 | 0.19 | 0.002∗ | |
| Female | 73.76 | 79.23 | 0.10 | 0.010∗ | |
| ≤45 years | 72.95 | 78.30 | 0.10 | 0.002∗ | |
Means show accuracy (%) for the VHPT-F and Alignment Effect, and d’ for the Congruency Effect. Note that for each measure holistic processing is indexed by higher performance in the Mean 1 vs. Mean 2 condition. ∗significant but in the opposite direction than theoretically predicted.
