  • Based on α = 0.05, shown are the number of significant cells (n), the percentage of these cells in the population (percentage), and the probability (p) of observing this number by chance alone (binomial test, p0 = α for the main effects, p0 = α2/2 for the conjunction analysis of congruent balanced error and difficulty). Excluding the four vPM cells has no meaningful effect on the population statistics. Two of the vPM cells have a significant balanced error signal, one of them in conjunction with balanced difficulty.
