RESULTS<br />
Total <strong>time</strong>s <strong>of</strong> experiment III were between 27 and 54<br />
minutes. The data from blocks 2 through 7 were used, although<br />
the first 3 RTs and RTs for immediate FPs <strong>of</strong> 1.30 and 2.19 sec<br />
were discarded. Blocks 2 and 3 (blocks 4 and 5, blocks 6 and 7,<br />
respectively) were pooled as session 1 (session 2, session 3,<br />
respectively). The medians <strong>of</strong> RTs to 1.00, 1.69 and 2.84 sec<br />
FPs, which were classified according to the FPs in the preceding<br />
trials, were calculated. To calculate mean RTs for each<br />
combination <strong>of</strong> the immediate FPs and the preceding FPs <strong>of</strong><br />
individual subjects, these medians were averaged over the three<br />
sessions. These mean RTs were analyzed by ANOVA with the design,<br />
immediate FP(1.00, 1.69 and 2.84 sec) x preceding FP(1.00, 1.30,<br />
1.69, 2.19 and 2.84 sec). Main effect <strong>of</strong> immediate FP and the<br />
interaction effect <strong>of</strong> immediate FP x preceding FP were significant<br />
at 5 % level. This results indicates that mean RT is dependent<br />
on immediate FP and the preceding FP (Figure 5).
