The groups did not show any significant differences in the number of correct responses either to the primed t = −1.45; p = .153) or unprimed words (t = −1.83; p = .074). Similarly, no significant group differences between HR and LR groups in reaction time (RT) were observed either for primed (t = −0.44; p = .665) or for unprimed (t = 0.11; p = .913) word conditions. Further, analysis showed a significantly higher number of correct responses for primed words compared to unprimed words in both HR (t = 3.48, p = .002) and LR (t = 3.54, p = .001) group. Similarly, significantly shorter RTs for primed words compared to unprimed words were observed in both HR (t = −2.74; p = .012) and LR (t = −4.61; p = .00009) groups.
