Excerpts

This meant that the effect was marginally significant.

After controlling for whole brain volume, age, and gender, the negative relationship between the RSES and the right AI ( r = -0.239, p = 0.004) was significant, while the negative relationship between the RSES and the left pgACC ( r = -0.219, p = 0.008) was marginally significant ( Table 2 ).

Indeed, it seems tempting to conclude that the P600 in the neutral group is a marker of well-formedness evaluation grounded in the default expectation of semantic congruency, and that the P600 in the poetry group reflects pragmatic processing triggered by the knowledge that superficially incongruent sentences may in fact be highly significant in poetic contexts.

Neither the main effect of Dative nor the interaction effect of Instruction and Dative approached significance (all F s < 1, all p s > 0.4).

Zero DAT trials showed a trend toward a reaction time advantage for Incongruent SEM vs.

The proportion of male underestimators were also greater at age 10 compared to at age 8 ( z = 5.40, p < 0.001), suggesting a clear trend toward more underestimating with increasing age.

Memory load in the verbal condition had a small trend for slowing reaction time, particularly for the first stimulus.

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).

The results revealed a positive association that leaned toward being practically significant between Resilience and Positive Mental Health ( r = 0.382).

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.

Additionally, there was a marginally significant main effect of veracity on the duration of gaze aversion, with liars ( M = 0.28, SD = 0.20) showing a longer duration than truth-tellers ( M = 0.21, SD = 0.13), F (1, 46) = 3.83, p = 0.057, η p 2 = 0.08.

In an fMRI study from our group (Kircher et al., 2007 ), patients with schizophrenia showed borderline significance in their impairment in a semantic connotation task with novel metaphors.

Using the same metaphors but more subjects, this group effect was clearly significant in another study (Schneider et al., 2015 ).

The total effect of regulatory non-fit on disengagement is positive and close to significance (PE = 0.13, SE = 0.07 7 ), i.e., non-fit relates to stronger withdrawal from work.

In addition, this study also found that there were significant differences in preschoolers’ cognitive flexibility at different age stages, showing an increasing trend with age, with a major improvement around 5 years old, approaching a perfect score.

Furthermore, the effect time x hearing impairment just failed significance.

Additionally, in the present study, there is no significant or close-to-significant correlation between behavioral interference and the LPP/Alpha ERD (neither regarding the absolute values nor for the emotional vs. neutral differentials).

The ideal audience might be significant as people might search for the right audience to use their comic style.

Although an overall trend of increased research interest was found for the remaining four topics, changes have been relatively moderate.

The fact that, unlike Experiment 1, the accuracy mismatch effect in Experiment 2 is only marginally significant is possibly due to the scarcity of English number agreement morphology.

Yet, there are also quite significant differences, suggesting disparate views of what a successful academic career, or successful academic progression, means.

Although results regarding the duration of the last fixation on the ball showed only marginally significant differences, we argue that the duration of the last fixation did not decrease with the higher salience of the distractor (the goalkeeper) because of a further need for visual processing, but because shorter durations reflected some kind of allocation of attention toward the distal target and the goalkeeper.

As expected, the correlation between the two tinnitus related questionnaires was strong and highly significant, which indicated good convergent validity.

These investigators assessed both the interference and facilitative effects induced by flankers in highly-trained fighter pilots on whom quite significant interference control demands are made.

Other papers are also illustrative of a positive trend that there is more emphasis to attempt to come up with theories that would cover other domains than music alone.
