Notes: One-tailed tests were used for trained items for all pre-treatment comparisons as well as for the pre–post comparison for untrained items. All other comparisons utilized two-tailed tests. Bonferroni-corrected thresholds for significance: P<0.013 for comparisons to pre-treatment performance and P<0.017 for comparisons relative to post-treatment performance. Analyses were conducted using the exactRankTests package1 in R (Version 3.3.1; 2016).
