I wonder what the average relaxation rate is and if there is any residual.
The effect sizes (eyeballing the graphs) are pretty small. I think the take-away here is more about 'a lifetime of media consumption' rather than any one piece of media.
From my totally scientifically collected and sample-bias-free personal experience, the short-term effect has a half-life of 3 days at most, with the effects generally being undetectable after a week.
A well-designed study of this would be interesting.
