t test for difference between CS+ and CS− in valence and arousal ratings
Valence | Session | t | df | p-value | Mean CS− (±SD) | Mean CS+ (±SD) |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Placebo | Acquisition | 7.81 | 47 | <0.001* | 72.56 ± 21.59 | 31.88 ± 20.80 |
Recall | 4.33 | 47 | <0.001* | 61.59 ± 22.49 | 43.29 ± 21.33 | |
Doxycycline | Acquisition | 6.34 | 48 | <0.001* | 74.11 ± 21.36 | 36.51 ± 23.85 |
Recall | 3.47 | 48 | 0.001* | 56.56 ± 21.21 | 43.62 ± 20.91 | |
Arousal | Session | t | df | p-value | Mean CS− (±SD) | Mean CS+ (±SD) |
Placebo | Acquisition | −8.11 | 47 | <0.001* | 21.16 ± 21.75 | 69.25 ± 26.99 |
Recall | −3.93 | 47 | <0.001* | 35.73 ± 27.18 | 53.33 ± 26.53 | |
Doxycycline | Acquisition | −5.41 | 48 | <0.001* | 36.22 ± 30.44 | 67.97 ± 24.83 |
Recall | −3.46 | 48 | 0.001* | 34.48 ± 29.60 | 48.20 ± 30.30 |
Valence ratings: “How do you feel when seeing this triangle? (0 = very negative, 100 = very positive)” Arousal ratings: “How aroused do you feel when seeing this triangle? (0 = very calm, 100 = very excited).” p-value: paired t-test significant differences (p < 0.05) are marked with ‘*’; SD: standard deviation.
