Chapter 482Figure 3. By-Subject Mean-Centered RTs per Condition and Probe Location. Dots indicate the median reaction time (RT), while error bars represent the 89% credible interval. In the attractive conditions, participants reacted faster when the probe appeared behind the attractive face. The opposite pattern was found for unattractive faces. This suggests that specifically attractive faces modulate initial attention.Age and SexWe investigated whether adding either age or sex to the model did improve the predictive accuracy relative to the simple model. When comparing the model that included the three-way interaction between age, condition, and probe location to the simple model, we found that the predictive accuracy of the simple model was slightly better (ΔelpdLOO = 3.5 [.9]). For the model that included the threeway interaction between sex, condition, and probe location, on the other hand, we found that it performed slightly better than the simple model. However, the difference was small and the standard error of the difference was relatively large (ΔelpdLOO = 3.7 [3.6]). Altogether, this suggests that adding age or sex to the simple model did not substantially increase the predictive accuracy.Tom Roth.indd 82 08-01-2024 10:41
