Involuntary Subvocalizations

To complement these findings, a by-item analysis was conducted to investigate the relationship between the dependent measures. The relationships worthy of noting are the following. The mean proportion of involuntary subvocalizations of an object was positively correlated to the mean proportion of perceived immediacy associated with that object name, r = ##, a coefficient that was significant given the number of observations (n = 60), Fisher's r to z, p <.## (all subsequent p values for correlation coefficients reflect Fisher's r to z). This relationships was found regardless of whether the objects were presented in the basic version of the RIT (r = .##, p < .##, n = 60), the Unintentional Refreshing (r = .##, p < .##, n = 60), or the Intentional Refreshing (r = .##, p < .##, n = 60) condition (Fig. 2). Consistent with these findings, the mean proportion of involuntary subvocalizations per object name was inversely correlated to the mean latency, r = -##, p < .### for the basis RIT (r = .##, p < .##), the Unintentional Refreshing (r = .##, p < .##), and Intentional Refreshing (r = .##, p < .##). …show more content…
Consistent with this interpretation, higher mean proportion of trials in which an object name was perceived to enter consciousness immediately, the lower the mean latency of entry into consciousness of that name regardless of condition (The basis RIT [r = .##, p < .##], the Unintentional Refreshing [r = .##, p < .##], and Intentional Refreshing [r = .##, p <
