Item repetition lag was found to have a consistent impact on the behavioral performance, with poorer accuracy and longer latencies associated with long compared to short lags. However, this lag main effect also interacted with task, revealing that stronger lag effects were observed for faces (long vs. short, dL: 3.02 ±1.23 vs. 3.50 ±1.39; latency: 810 ±166 vs. 795 ±156 ms) than words (dL: 3.82 ±1.63 vs. 4.08 ±1.74; latency: 788 ±171 vs. 784 ±162 ms). In fact, simple lag main effects were significant only for faces or markedly more robust for faces when compared to those for words (percent correct, F[1, 97] = 44.8, p < .0001 vs. F[1, 97] = 1.62, n.s.; sensitivity, F[1, 97] = 27.8, p < .0001 vs. F[1, 97] = 10.6, p = .002; latency, F[1, 97] = 36.5, p < .0001 vs. F[1, 97] = 1.35, n.s.). For the sensitivity measure, lag interacted with task and group, stemming from controls having pronounced lag differences for faces but not words, whereas patients showed similar lag effects for faces and words (cf.
