Similarly, in the stop button condition the effect of outcome was also highly significant, F (1.345, 166.797) = 14.738, p < .001 ( η 2 = .106) with stereo triplet near-misses significantly larger than either gramophone near-misses ( p < .001) or losses ( p < .001) in the stop button condition.

However, there was a significant main effect of outcome, F (1.286, 159.458) = 455.039, p < .001 ( η 2 = .786), while the button by outcome interaction fell just short of significance following a Greenhouse Geisser correction F (2.058, 255.186) = 2.82, p = .06.
