Even when the identity of non-objects was extremely unlikely, proportional non-object priming remained highly significant (0.04), t (19) = 2.96, p < 0.01, d = 0.80.

Collapsed across conditions, same-key priming was significant, t (22) = 3.15, p < 0.01, d = 0.71, whereas different-key priming approached significance, t (21) = 1.56, p = 0.065, d = 0.38.
