q3 i? For uncertain elements, memory of appearance was lower with geometric contrast than in the without, stop light colors, and both conditions. → Glaser 2022

q3 · i? · causal · r?

Post-hoc comparisons in the results table for the interaction on memory of appearance of uncertain elements show "Without > geometric contrast" and "Stop light colors > geometric contrast", with 95% confidence intervals; no standardized effect size is printed.

"Uncertain: Without > geometric contrast [0.118 0.392] Stop light colors > geometric contrast [0.014 0.292] Without > both [0.177 0.456] Stop light colors > both [0.073 0.356]"
