A series of paired-sample t -tests (with alpha adjusted to 0.05/3 = 0.017 for three comparisons) showed a trend for faster response times after instructions in the eyebrows condition (5.14 vs. 3.72 seconds), t (19) = 2.30, p = 0.03, d = 0.49, but not in the eyes condition (3.87 vs. 4.06 seconds), t (19) = 0.38, p = 0.71, d = 0.07, or in the ears condition (3.69 vs. 4.03 seconds), t (19) = 0.64, p = 0.53, d = 0.15.
