Post hoc analyses revealed that the difference between typing and verbal responses approached significance in list lengths of 2 ( F (1,74) = 3.08, p = .08, η p 2 = 0.02), was significant in favor of verbal responses for list lengths of 3 ( F (1,74) = 5.79, p = .019, η p 2 = 0.04), and not significant for list of 4 ( F (1,74) = 0.04, p = 1.0) and 5 ( F (1,74) = 1.68, p = .198) numbers.
