A paired t-test showed a trend for higher accuracy scores with names than faces (t(16) = 1.986, p = 0.064), and significantly faster RTs for names than faces (t(16) = 3.179, p = 0.006).

This may be one of the reasons why we did not observe a famous face advantage in accuracy for both younger and age-matched participants, although significant effects could be found in RTs for younger participants (trending towards significance for age-matched).
