Table 4. Experiment 1: Self-paced reading speed model estimates for the planned analysis with set size as a categorical predictor.

Predictor β^ (words/s) 95% CrI Bayes factors (BF10):
Informative Planned Diffuse
Intercept 2.50 [2.33, 2.67]
Set size 0.07 [−0.02, 0.16] 1.32 0.28 0.20
Distance −0.02 [−0.09, 0.06] 0.31 0.07 0.05
Set size × distance 0.02 [−0.15, 0.18] 0.88 0.23 0.07

Note:

The reciprocal transform means that β^ represents the model’s estimated effect for each of the predictors in words per second. A positive sign therefore indicates faster reading (more words per second) and a negative sign, slower reading. The 95% Bayesian credible interval (CrI) gives the range in which 95% of the model’s samples fell. Bayes factors are presented for a range of β priors including, from left to right: more informative than the prior used in the planned analysis, N(0, 0.1); the prior used in the planned analysis, N(0, 0.5); and more diffuse than the prior used in the planned analysis, N(0, 1). BF10 indicates the Bayes factor for the full model (1) against a reduced model (0). Bayes factors of less than 0.3 indicate evidence for the reduced model, while Bayes factors greater than 3.0 indicate evidence for the full model.
