The analyses of the accuracy data only showed a small (1.8%) advantage of the identity condition over the same-shape substituted-letter condition that approached significance, coefficient = −0.16065, SE = 0.08215, z = 1.95, p = 0.051, whereas there were no signs of a difference between same-shape and different-shape substituted-letter conditions, | z | < 1.
