Medians <strong>of</strong> RTs for each combination <strong>of</strong> 3 immediate FPs,<br />
1.00, 1.69 and 2.84 sec, and the preceding FPs, 1.00, 1.30,<br />
1.69, 2.19 and 2.84 sec, were calculated for sessions 1 and 2.<br />
These medians were analyzed by ANOVA with the design, FP (1.00,<br />
1.69 and 2.84 sec) x the preceding FP (1.00, 1.30, 1.69, 2.19 and<br />
2.84 sec) x conditions <strong>of</strong> sessions (continuous vs. discrete)<br />
x order <strong>of</strong> conditions (from the continuous(in session 1) to the<br />
discrete condition(in session 2) vs. from the discrete(in session 1)<br />
to the continuous condition(in session 2)).<br />
Main effects <strong>of</strong> immediate FPs and <strong>of</strong> the preceding FPs, and<br />
interaction effect <strong>of</strong> immediate FP x the preceding FP were<br />
significant at 5 % level. The use <strong>of</strong> the warning signal had<br />
no statistically significant effects. Medians <strong>of</strong> RTs, which were<br />
averaged over non significant factors, were summarized in Table II.<br />
DISCUSSION<br />
The results <strong>of</strong> experiments I and II suggest that expectation
