Yes, that's my understanding too. A Cohen's h score in this case would take the proportion of hits relative to chance for observed and expected so the value would be the same in these two situations. I think it would actually be about 0.43 if my calculations are right.

What I can't figure out is what it means to transform the aspirin data into Cohen's h, with regards to making an effect size comparison between psi and the aspirin study.
