aBecause some students scored as outliers on a number of measures (number correct on the pre-test, self-rating of familiarity with robots, pre-test ratings of interests or value), those students were removed from analyses to assess their influence.
It could be argued that recency judgments amount to a simple test of relative familiarity in that the older object has been forgotten or the memory trace for that object is weaker, so that animals treat the old object as novel relative to the one seen in the more recent sample phase.
