The marginal effect of time was driven by slightly better detection for changes that occurred after 500 ms (coinciding with trajectory changes in that condition, but note that there was no interaction) than those that occur shortly before, an effect that was marginally significant ( t (14) = 2.05, p = 0.06, d’ = 0.53), opposite to the behavioral cost associated with resetting.
