Simple Factorial Design Results: Main effects Sex – not sig Cue – not sig Interaction Sex x Cue - sig Outcome: Females will perform better than males when navigating in the presence of distal cues but worse than males when navigating in the presence of proximal cues. Simple Factorial Design Results: Main effects Sex – not sig Cue – sig Interaction Sex x Cue – not sig Outcome: Females and males do not differ, there is no interaction but a significant effect of cue condition. Simple Factorial Design Results: Main effects Sex – sig Cue – not sig Interaction Sex x Cue – not sig Outcome: Females perform significantly better than males but there is no significant effect of cue condition and no interaction. Simple Factorial Design Results: Main effects Sex – not sig Cue – not sig Interaction Sex x Cue – not sig Outcome: no sig main effects or interaction Simple Factorial Design Results: Main effects Sex – sig Cue – sig Interaction Sex x Cue – sig Outcome: All effects are significant.
