Excerpts

Only the left SPL, which showed a trend in the block averaging analysis, also showed higher activity for the high motion than low motion sentences during the last two TR's of the block [ t (11) = 2.44, P = 0.03; Figure 3 ].

It is necessary to note that the Chi-square test is sensitive to the size of the sample, and it is may be significant when the actual difference between the observed model and the implied model covariance is small.

A sensible strategy for avoiding this pitfall might entail the formulation of alternative IRT models which correspond to practically significant model violations, the selection of model tests which are most powerful against these models, and an estimation of the necessary sample size for testing against these models with sufficient power.

The relationship with the Anxiety scale was statistically significant in the zero-order and partial correlations, and in the t -test, but only marginally significant in the ANCOVAs (although caution should be applied when discussing marginal significance; see Pritschet et al., 2016 ).

Regarding changes in attitude according to type of reading (Grade × Type of reading interaction), in our study among pupils from Grades 5 to 8, we found more positive attitudes toward leisure reading than toward academic reading, even though there was a negative trend in attitudes toward both types of reading across grades, in line with previous studies among elementary or middle/secondary school pupils ( McKenna et al., 1995 , 2012 ).

Discussion The results of the two-stream RSVP with the standard series of distractors showed, as expected, a clear-cut LVF advantage in T2 identification, while T1 was identified equally well in both VFs, with a small trend to a RVF advantage.

Gross motor function assessed by the rotarod test revealed a highly significant trial effect on overall mean time spent on rotarod across the 3 days of training (repeated measure ANOVA multivariate test Pillai’s Trace V = 0.12, F (2,153) = 10.45, p < 0.0001) (Figure 2D ).

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).

These facts showed a trend over time which clearly indicated that men have become increasingly engaged in the communally demanding task of child-rearing.

( 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.

However, visuospatial WM was a nearly significant predictor of error rate learning slope when we added math anxiety to the model.

No other variables were significantly related to performance on the loss of control task, although there was a marginally significant negative association between the pursuit rotor task and RTs to loss of control, r s = -0.304, suggesting that participants with better hand-eye coordination may respond faster to loss of control.

The results show a strong and highly significant correlation between on-the-job creativity and innovation.

In fact, he had the larger aim in his work of socially contextualizing human cognitive research more broadly than just navigation, but he chose navigation as his main test case (which may be significant in and of itself).

In non-word spelling, both groups shared switching as the only predictor (the impact for multilinguals was only marginally significant).

Moreover, a significant association between reading accuracy and steepness of the pre-test slope was observed, with reading fluency scores also approaching significance ( Table 3 ‘Pre-test slope’).

They monitored the process of learning to typewrite using the Colemark keyboard layout, which is an alternative to the QWERTY layout, finding a decreasing trend of the beta and gamma bands.

As anticipated, findings revealed a highly significant effect of problem type, with participants as a whole displaying significantly higher levels of performance on personally-relevant problems identified idiographically.

Attachment anxiety was associated with lower vividness of negative autobiographical memories, and there was a marginally significant trend for anxiety to be associated with lower vividness and higher coherence of positive memories.

Partly consistent with our prediction, the narrative memories of anxious individuals were less vivid (albeit marginally significant for positive memories), however, there was a marginal trend for anxious individuals to have more coherent positive memories.

(2012) explored that students’ reading patterns vary and have a moderately significant influence on academic success, while Bashir and Mattoo (2012) examined that academic performance is dependent on the level of students’ study habits; thus, reading habits influence on future success, which was confirmed by Owusu-Acheaw and Larson (2014) through quantitative measures.

This association was not evident for burnout, and the marginally significant relation between presence of a WHPP and controllability of cancer and non-health related events was fully explained by employees' own involvement in implementing a health program.

Investigating each country separately, we find that in 10 countries, a significant or marginally significant quadratic relationship of the form - x + x 2 indicates that the extremes on both, left and right, are associated with higher average number of children (Table 2A ).

Children made more “true” judgments than other types in valid-cue condition and showed a trend to make more “fake” judgments in invalid-cue condition.

( 2017 ) report an almost significant interaction between serial order and spatial processing for not-semantically-related pseudo-words, with positions 2 and 3 in the sequence responded to faster with the right hand but no left-right difference for positions 1 and 4.
