To investigate whether our reaction time data could be interpreted in terms of the Banich paradigm, a repeated measures analysis of variance was carried out on reaction time performance. The within subjects factors were task (physical-identity, name-identity) and trial type (within hemisphere, across hemisphere). The analysis revealed a significant main effect of task, F (1, 111) = 421.01, p < 0.001, η 2 p = 0.79, with faster RTs in the physical-identity task (M = 593) than the name-identity task (M = 743). According to the Banich paradigm, the interaction between trial type and task must be significant. This was the case in our data set: the interaction was F (1, 111) = 40.96, p < 0.001, η 2 p = 0.27; the RTs in the name-identity task were faster on across hemisphere trials (M = 721) compared to within hemisphere trials (M = 766), while RTs in the physical-identity task were equal for within hemisphere (M = 592) and across hemisphere trials (M = 593).
