When the test conditions were analyzed separately, the Age factor failed to reach significance in the implicit instructions condition, F <1, while it became significant when explicit instructions were employed at test, F (1, 52) = 7.78, p <.01, η 2;p = .13, with the 8-year-olds ( M = 3.51, SD = .2.19) outperforming the 5-year-olds ( M = 1.12, SD = 2.34).
