Finally, it should also be noted that despite that the patterns of results were in line with our hypotheses, some of the effects were just marginally significant.

Abstract An increasing trend in the workplace is for employees to walk on treadmills while working to attain known health benefits; however, the effect of walking on a treadmill during cognitive control and executive function tasks is not well known.

Although, values showed an increasing trend across the age groups, differences did not reach statistical significance (Figure 2 ).

Moreover, the relationships among basic values, career orientations, and career anchors were highly significant in the direction of the two bipolar dimensions and motivational continuum proposed in Schwartz' structural values model.

Discussion The results showed that the OP related and O related distractors reliably facilitated written production at -100, 0, and +100 ms SOAs, and these findings replicated the results of Experiment 1, while the P related distractors produced a marginally significant facilitation effect at 0 ms SOA.

Treated participants also showed a trend-level depressive symptom reduction, but no changes on other well-being measures.

For example, a trait × state interaction for the SC-IAT fell short of significance, which descriptively pointed toward increased positive implicit attitudes toward chocolate after deprivation in high trait chocolate cravers.

All effects revealing a significance level of p < 0.05, and p < 0.1 for marginal significance are reported.

Perceptual narrowing is a highly significant development associated with the first year of life.

Interestingly, compared to the contralateral condition, the SSVEP amplitude elicited by the 20 Hz flicker stimulus presented ipsilateral to the cue showed a trend of early enhancement and subsequent inhibition; however, this trend was not significant in the 801~1,400 ms period.

Indeed, when a statistical trend test is performed on these data (means of differences: same-computer group: 7.12%; modified same-room group: 3.04%; different-rooms group: 0.33%), the monotonous decline with increasing psychological distance is likewise confirmed ( J = 1145.5; z = 2.046; p = 0.041, two-tailed).

The effect on the difference in encoding between partner-relevant words and task-irrelevant words turned out to be strong and highly significant in the same-computer condition, but small and non-significant in the different-rooms condition, a pattern that parallels our present findings.

However, this consistency effect on preference was only marginally significant and very small.

Thus, the association between duration of music training and IQ was near-significant when demographic variables were held constant, although it was weaker than in previous correlational studies with older children (Schellenberg, 2006 , 2011a ; Corrigall et al., 2013 ) and in a quasi-experiment with same-age children (Schellenberg and Mankarious, 2012 ).

Specifically, when we included a non-word repetition task, which required children to process, store, and reproduce non-words, the strength of the association between early EF and mathematics was not significantly different from the strength of the association between early EF and literacy, although a trend toward significance was observed.

Conclusion: Maternal work hours have a marginally significant negative effect on children’s affect through FMCC only for non-college-educated mothers.

Employing FDR control, all of our nominally significant parameters remained significant with the highest p -value below 0.05 being p uncorr = 0.017 and p FDR = 0.025.

In the younger half of the sample, children showed a trend to be more likely to generate relevant factual information for static exhibits (29% of the time) than interactive exhibits (17% of the time), B = 0.61, SE = 0.36, 95% CI [−0.10, 1.33], Wald χ 2 (1) = 2.85, p = 0.09.

Partial correlations revealed that age, family income, and IQ were marginally significant predictors ( p s < 0.10).

The results from the two phases are scored separately, and as previous research (e.g., Wüstenberg et al., 2012 ) has shown, there may be significant differences in performance in the two phases.

Trust was strongly associated with lower negative affect (| r |s > 0.44, p s < 0.01) and moderately associated with greater positive affect at a marginal significance level (| r |s > 0.28, p s < 0.09). 3.2.

To formally verify differences in the mothers’ use of MSL categories as a function of children’s age, we performed a MANOVA (multivariate analysis of variance) that has showed a significant difference in the use of communicative terms [ F (2,27) = 4.498; p = 0.021; η 2 = 0.44] with a decreasing trend: mothers of younger children utilized more communicative terms ( M = 25.93, SD = 11.70) than mother of the 5.05-year-old children ( M = 20.03, SD = 10.19) and the 5.11-year-old children ( M = 12.17, SD = 8.15).

For alcohol dependence, Phelan ( 2013 ) reported fewer words recalled over Trials I-V for alcohol dependent participants (approaching significance), and alcohol dependence was also associated with poorer recognition performance.

(2012) longitudinal investigation of CBCT in adults naïve to meditation found that, for individuals randomized to compassion meditation but not those randomized to attention meditation, meditation practice time predicted increased amygdala activation in response to compassion-inducing stimuli, though the effect was only marginally statistically significant.

Casillas and Frank (2012) found a marginally significant effect indicating that, in third-person perspective paradigms, adults show a stronger tendency to shift their gaze from current to next speaker – and a trend for this happening slightly earlier – for questions than non-questions.
