The effect of 90 minutes of monocular deprivation on the PSS is displayed in
Figure 3. Our results showed that the absolute change in PSS was not statistically significant for either the deprived eye, DG: t(9) = −0.45, Bonferroni-Holm adjusted alpha = 0.05,
p = 0.663, Cohen d = −0.142, BF
10 = 0.337, or nondeprived eye, NG: t(9) = 1.68, Bonferroni-Holm adjusted alpha = 0.025,
p = 0.128, Cohen d = −0.53, BF
10 = 0.884, groups when data were pooled across the entire postdeprivation phase. Comparing the mean absolute change in PSS between the deprived and nondeprived eye groups showed no significant difference, t(18) = −1.59,
p = 0.128, Cohen d = −0.713, BF
10 = 0.943. Next, we determined whether the absolute change in PSS differed between the groups for each postdeprivation phase as well as between the postdeprivation phases for each group. Our results revealed that for both the first and second postdeprivation phases, there was no statistically significant difference between the mean absolute change in PSS for the deprived group and that of the nondeprived group, first: t(18) = –1.28, Bonferroni-Holm adjusted alpha = 0.0167,
p = 0.215, Cohen d = −0.574, BF
10 = 0.702; second: t(18) = −1.64, Bonferroni-Holm adjusted alpha = 0.0125,
p = 0.118, Cohen d = −0.734, BF
10 = 0.992. Also, the mean absolute change in PSS did not differ significantly between the first and second postdeprivation phases for the deprived group, t(9) = −0.71, Bonferroni-Holm adjusted alpha = 0.05,
p = 0.499, Cohen d = −0.223, BF
10 = 0.381, and for the nondeprived group, t(9) = −0.98, Bonferroni-Holm adjusted alpha = 0.025,
p = 0.353, Cohen d = −0.309, BF
10 = 0.457.
