Paper Context: Although there was no reliable main effect of Labeling [F(1, 38) = 0.9, p = .34], there was a significant interaction between Labeling and Block [F(1, 38) = 4.4, p < .05], suggesting that the difference between the two labeling conditions was modulated by the repetition of the visual information. There were no other significant interactions. An analysis of variance with the intercept as the dependent variable failed to find any significant main effects or interactions as did the corresponding analysis of the slopes.
