In both analyses, the contrast between the separation-prompt condition and the no-prompt condition influenced participants integration avoidance positively (recall: b = 0.44, p < .001; transfer: b = 0.47, p < .001) which, in turn, did not influence recall ( b = -0.01, p = .909), but transfer just missed significance ( b = -0.50, p = .053).
