However, sexes did vary slightly at other points in the session—males appeared to freeze more in block 2, although this was marginally significant ( p = 0.050), and females froze more in block 6 ( p = 0.032).

There was a significant main effect of session [ F (5,295) = 178.77, p < 0.001, η p 2 = 0.059] as well as a significant sex × session interaction [ F (5,395) = 3.67, p = 0.003], Furthermore, the sex × retention interval × session interaction approached significance [ F (5,295) = 2.12, p = 0.063], which is consistent with the individual within-session analyses conducted previously: in session 2, the sex × retention interval interaction was significant [ F (1,59) = 4.88, p = 0.031, η p 2 = 0.076], and the same was true in session 3 [ F (1,59) = 5.44, p = 0.023, η p 2 = 0.084].
