Excerpts

Strictly speaking, this should be considered statistically not relevant as the related main effect was approaching but not reaching significance.

Notably, the variable representing cognitive ability was not even close to significance.

The cross-correlation between head-on-trunk and TR was highly significant and negative in both 8-year-olds (median r = −0.73, Q 1 = −0.95, Q 3 = 0.02) and adults (median r = −0.93, Q 1 = −0.97, Q 3 = −0.76).

Imitation at T1, however, was only significantly correlated with word reading, although the correlation with SSL phonological awareness was also marginally significant.

The Egger test was only marginally significant in the peak of the red nucleus (4, -26, -6; see Supplementary Material).

All intraclass correlations resulted in highly significant coefficients.

We computed four a priori contrasts, of which only significant or marginally significant contrasts are reported.

As regards the context scale, for which the difference in the results of the pre- and post-treatment assessments was only close to significance, we noted that this scale has fewer items than the others, which means it is probably less reliable and effective in detecting improvements in performance (see Bosco et al., 2012a ).

In a review on social skills, Kurtz and Mueser (2008) reported that the average effect size of these interventions on psychosocial functioning is highly significant and consistent across studies, supporting the utility of social skills training in improving functional outcomes in these individuals, such as social adjustment and independent living.

Since χ 2 statistic is a function of sample size, it is more likely to be significant with a large sample size ( Kline, 2011 ).

( 2008 ) found that children who interacted with computers during their intervention time using Fast ForWord-Language or computer-assisted language intervention (CALI), fared as well as children who received one-to-one individual language intervention with a certified SLP or academic enrichment, all of whom made highly significant improvements on standardized language measures.

At PAS = WG there is a clear trend toward high true positive rate and low false positive rate, indicating substantially improved discriminatory power, however with four subjects demonstrating a tendency to underperform on the visual task (false positive rate exceeding 30%).

A similar effect almost reached significance for the comparison of the human versus ambiguous faces.

Visuotopic Representation Differs among Medial Optic-flow Regions Our MVPA results for Stimulus Size classification revealed a significant effect in V6, a partially significant effect in the PcM, and no significant effect in the CSv ( Figure 6D ).

These results suggest a strong trend for Ghanaians and African Americans to both produce scores indicating higher disgust and contamination sensitivities (Williams and Turkheimer, 2007 : mean Padua total score for Whites = 7.08, mean Padua total score for Blacks = 11.84; this study: mean Padua total score for Ghanaians = 16.35).

However, contrary to these expectations, the SDT analysis did not reveal any emotion prototype and its morphs to be more impacted by inversion than the others, moreover showing only an overall trend for d ′ to be slightly lower for inverted than for upright FEs (Figure 2 ).

The interaction with the influence of the expectation condition only approached significance.

Statistically significant differences are indicated with an asterisk, and marginally significant effects are marked with a dagger throughout the paper.

In adults, the intercept for the intentional contrast was significant and was only marginally significant for the causal contrast, indicating that adults integrated the protagonists’ intentions to harm in their moral judgment while they only had a tendency to integrate the protagonists’ causal roles.

They studied 65 children born preterm and found that the number of normal postural patterns displayed between 11 and 16 weeks after term contributed significantly to the prediction of total and verbal IQs, and almost significantly to that of performance IQs.

The effect size reported for visuo-motor recalibration (23 ms here; 30–44 ms in Stetson et al., 2006 ; Heron et al., 2009 ; Sugano et al., 2010 ) is much larger than that reported for visuo-tactile only recalibration (12.5 ms; Keetels and Vroomen, 2008 ) or for visuo-tactile-proprioceptive recalibration (16 ms; Stetson et al., 2006 ; effect approaching significance).

However, there is no significant anti-rank-correlation of recalibration and temporal accuracy of the adaptation signal ( p = 0.302), even if there is a possible trend in the predicted direction (Figure 5 , left).

Nonetheless, the Orangutans showed a trend in the preference for symmetry as revealed by the descriptive values ( Table 1 ) and the model output for the fixation preference ( Table 2 ).

E/M and S , on the other hand, have marginally significant responses, but are not significantly different from each other.

No other effects approached significance.
