Although perceptual load and distractor location did not interact, F (1,29) = 0.011, p = 0.917, η 2 = 0.000, the main effect of distractor location was marginally significant, F (1,29) = 4.162, p = 0.051, η 2 = 0.126.

Distractor location did not influence accuracy, F (1,29) = 0.814, p = 0.374, η 2 = 0.027, and the interaction failed to reach significance, F (1,29) = 0.357, p = 0.555, η 2 = 0.012.

did not reach statistical significanceno p-value reported

Given this effect did not reach statistical significance, and the mean difference in accuracy was slight this finding must not be over-interpreted; accuracy was slightly higher in the presence of upper space distractors ( M = 81.22%, SD = 6.88) compared to lower space distractors ( M = 79.82%, SD = 6.55).
