The main effect of task failed to reach statistical significance, F (1, 21) = 3.22, p = .087, ƞ p 2 = 0.04, but the Bayesian statistics nonetheless showed strong support for the effect, BF inc = 77.80.

Additionally, because the EAB failed to reach significance in this heterogeneous RSVP stream that minimized the emotional distractor’s physical distinctiveness and discouraged semantic processing, this suggests that emotional salience alone is not strong enough to overcome task goals and capture attention in a RSVP task.
Even with a p-value approaching significance, the effect size is far smaller than that associated with the AB, though the Bayes factor represents merely anecdotal evidence against the existence of the EAB.
