conditions, Fs < 1.00. Unexpectedly, food deprivation had no significant
effect on concentration scores. Overall, we found support for our
hypothesis that 12 hours of food deprivation would significantly impair
perseverance when compared to no deprivation. Unexpectedly, 24 hours
of food deprivation did not significantly affect perseverance relative to the
control group. Also unexpectedly, food deprivation did not significantly
affect concentration scores.
