1 Benwell et al. (2014) 68.5 20 LM N 0.15 A, H, LL, S2 Raw data obtained from authors. Long (243mm = 19.69°) and short (24.3mm = 1.99°) lines used in line length analysis.
2 Harvey et al. (2000) 71.0 18 LM N -0.26 A, C, H, S2 T-statistic vs 0 reported for left cue visible and right cue visible conditions. d calculated separately for each, then averaged.
3 Learmonth et al. (2017) 68.8 19 LM N 0.03 A, H, LL, S1, S2 Raw data obtained from authors. N = 1 excluded from analysis. Long (208.9mm = 14.88°) and short (20.7mm = 1.49°) lines used in line length analysis.
4 Learmonth et al. (2018) 70.4 39 LM N -0.24 A, H, S1, S2 Raw data obtained from authors.
5 Schmitz and Peigneux (2011) 69.4 19 LM N 0.45 A, H, S2 T-statistic against chance (i.e., 50% “left longer”) reported and used to calculate d.
6 Zeller and Hullin (2018) 75.0 59 LM N 0.54 A, H Cohen’s d reported against chance (i.e., 50% “left end closer”).
