In order to observe differences in the correctness score among all conditions of the design (simulators vs. confessors vs. controls), a one-way ANOVA was conducted only on the retest memory phase (T2). The main effect of condition reached significance, F(2,107) = 17.74, p < 0.001, ηp2 = 0.25. Post hoc test with Bonferroni correction indicated that simulators reported less correct information than confessors, p = 0.014, 95% CI [-4.22 -0.36], d = 0.61. As expected, and in line with our hypothesis (Hp. 1), feigning amnesia undermined memory for the mock crime video. Furthermore, in line with our prediction (Hp. 2), both simulators and confessors were able to recall significantly more correct information than controls, p = 0.009, 95% CI [0.47 0.43], d = 0.83, and p < 0.001, 95% CI [2.77 6.60] d = 1.36, respectively. Proportions of free recall correctness3 are shown in Table 1.
