Effect sizes for the total age effect (linear and quadratic) and for the linear/quadratic effects separately are expressed as the proportion of explained variance (R2), as a percentage, and as standardized regression coefficients (β), respectively. Degrees of freedom in experiment 1: age effect F(2,583) and t(583); experiment 2: Age F(2,78) and t(78). Boldface indicates p < 0.05.
