Table 1.

Statistical results of three-factorial repeated-measures ANOVA and post-hoc tests on front-back reversal errors. Significant results are marked bold. The results of the one-way ANOVA for multi-tone signal at 85 dB(A) were Greenhouse-Geisser corrected due to violated sphericity assumptions.
