We nevertheless performed an exploratory t -test comparison of group means after single-attempt successes had been removed from the data (coherent: M = 4.01, SD = 1.09; fragmented: M = 4.75, SD = 1.74) that narrowly failed to reach significance, t (48) = − 1.80, p = 0.078, d = − 0.51, likely due to the reduced sample size (post-hoc observed power: 55%).
