Pairwise comparisons confirmed sequence specific learning under congruent prime conditions ( t 10 = −4.57, p = .002, d = −1.38; one-tailed) and showed a trend toward significance under neutral primes ( t 10 = −2.33, p = .06, d = −0.70), but no significant effect was found under incongruent primes ( t 10 = −.66, p = .19, d = −0.50; Fig. 2 B, E ).
Response times among sequenced blocks were significantly faster than random blocks under both neutral ( t 16 = −3.76, p = .003, d = −0.91; one-tailed) and congruent primes ( t 16 = −5.63, p < .001, d = −1.37), but just missed significance under incongruent primes ( t 16 = −2.24, p = .06, d = −0.54; Fig. 2 A, D ).
Response times were significantly faster during sequenced compared with random blocks under congruent primes ( t 27 = −4.6, p < .001, d = −0.87; one-tailed) and approached significance under neutral ( t 27 = −2.14, p = .06, d = −0.40) and incongruent primes ( t 16 = −2.02, p = .08, d = −0.38; Fig. 3 B).
