The percentage of responses where the response was
greater than .02 micro sieman was analyzed using a repeated
measures analyses of variance (ANOVA) with group (RHD, RH
NCS, LHD, LH NCS) as the between subject factor and tone
(high, low) was the within subject factor. There was no
main effect for group [F (3,43) = .478, P = .700] or for tone
[F(l,43) = .562, P = .457]. The interaction between group
and tone was also not significant [F(3,43) = 1.86, P =
.151]. The mean number of responses for each group (in
percentages) are as follows: LHD mean=15%, sd=23.45; LH NCS
mean=14.38%, sd=27.75; RHD mean=10.23%, sd=15.00; RH NCS
mean=20.63%, sd=15.13. See Table C-44 for the full ANOVA
table in Appendix C. Arcsin transformations were also
calculated and analyzed using the same design. The
transformed data also revealed no significant results.
A repeated measures ANOVA was used to analyze the SCR.
The between subjects factor was group (LH, LH NCS, RH, RH
NCS) and the within subject factors were tone (high and low)
and block (1 to 4). Examination of SCR revealed a main
effect for block [F(3,43) = 2.84, P < .05] along with a
block by condition interaction [F(3,43) = 3.32, P < .05].
The full ANOVA table, Table C-45, is presented in Appendix
C.
Paired t-tests with a Bonferroni correction requiring P
< .008 to reach significance were employed to explore the
main effect of block. None of the block were significantly
