TABLE 2.
Mean d’ and β estimates of response biases in older and younger adults.
| Index | Young | Older | p-value | |
| Frequent | d’ | 4.25 | 4.09 | 0.246a |
| β | 2.25 | 1.34 | 0.007b** | |
| Infrequent | d’ | 4.43 | 3.9 | 0.001a** |
| β | 1.77 | 1.47 | 0.098b |
The calculations of the d’ and β are based on Equations (1, 2), respectively. aTwo-sample t-test. bMann-Whitney U-test. ** denotes p < 0.001.
