The main effect of Age approached significance, F (1, 58) = 4.01, p = .05 η p 2 = .065, BF 10 = 1.20, and there was no significant interaction between Age and Delay, F (1, 58) = 0.22, p = .64, η p 2 = .004, BF 10 = 0.63, indicating that compared with the Younger group the Older group had an overall lower level of recall (Marginal means: M Older = 24.3, M Young = 26.5) but did not differ in forgetting rate.

failed to reach significancep = .10so close (0.05 < p ≤ 0.1)

The variance was greater for the Older group than the Younger group, although this failed to reach significance (Older: SD = 35.4; Younger: SD = 10.35; Levene’s test for equality of variances not violated, p = .10).
