Please make sure with Ho that you set it equal to something, not anything else. 

4. A variety of experiments suggest that visual images interfere with visual perception. In one study,
Segal and Fusella (1970) had participants watch a screen, looking for brief presentations of a small
blue arrow. On some trials, the participants were also asked to form a mental image (for example,
imagine a volcano). The results for a sample of N = 36 show that participants made an average of 1.8
more errors while forming images than while not forming images. The difference scores had SS = 378.
