Excerpts

No individual cortical region showed an association with left-handedness that survived statistical correction for multiple testing, although there was a nominally significant association with the surface area of a previously implicated region: the left precentral sulcus.

In any case, we can be reassured that semantic priming did take place, since we obtained highly significant N400 differences between the Related and Unrelated conditions, thereby replicating classical N400 effects (e.g., Barrett and Rugg, 1990 ; Ganis et al., 1996 ; Kutas and Federmeier, 2011 ).

The L1 data from Experiment 3 showed a trend for late processing difficulty in the local-mismatch condition, although this did not prove statistically reliable.

The problem that was succinctly expressed by Levy and Duke (2003) still exists: that many movement analysis systems are designed to gather easily quantified empirical evidence, skewing research to what is easily studied, rather than what might be significant, yet difficult to quantify for scientific analysis.

With regard to MSE across both the ab and ACME estimators, there were several practically significant main effects and interactions.

PW: F (1, 38) = 5.6, p = 0.023, partial-ƞ 2 = 0.13) and by the nearly significant interaction between Stimulus and Task (HFW vs.

Pronoun region Significant or partially significant main effects of Group were seen in all eye-movement measures, reflecting the fact that the L2 participants read the stimulus sentences generally more slowly than the L1 group.

Data analysis indicated a significant WF effect and a marginally significant SF effect across repetitions.

If on the one hand, 50 different T-patterns were detected in subjects under standard diet, on the other hand, 703 different T-patterns were discovered in animals under hyperglycidic treatment, with a highly significant increase of mean lengths and a significant reduction of mean occurrences of T-patterns.

However, when predicting negative affect, acceptance significantly attenuated the effect of the ambivalence manipulation on negative affect and a marginal trend for awareness to enhance the effect of the ambivalence manipulation on negative affect.

Specifically, somatosensory cortical activity increased when viewing touch on another person or object, similar to Keysers et al.’s (2004) original findings, but showed a trend in the opposite direction when viewing one’s own face.

From a neuroanatomical perspective, the restriction of a highly significant inhibition effect to the LH in the present study is consistent with fMRI studies reviewed by Kan and Thompson-Schill ( 2004 ).

Multiple comparisons for the reward variant using Tukey's Honestly Significant Difference test showed that only the unidirectional instructions for seeking reward differed from the standard and no hint instructions; however, the significance levels of these variables were p = 0.08 and p = 0.09, respectively, indicating marginal significance.

The meta-analysis performed with all studies and with all designs on scores of depression before and after the DMT interventions also indicate a favorable trend for DMT groups since scores of depression were decreased in all cases.

During action observation, the ANOVAs for three of the four ROIs revealed marginally significant interactions between the condition (exp/ctrl) and session (pre/post) factors.

(2013) , our results revealed a decreasing trend in patient performance in managing the different pragmatic tasks investigated, including sincere, deceitful, and ironic communicative acts in both comprehension and production on both the linguistic and extralinguistic scales of the ABaCo ( Angeleri et al., 2012 ).

The patients with schizophrenia also exhibited an increasing trend of difficulty in comprehending and producing sincere, deceitful, and ironic communicative acts expressed through either linguistic or extralinguistic means.

A significant trend in tax administration is digitalization and automating, as well as reducing the personal interaction between tax authorities and taxpayers ( Kochanova et al., 2017 ).

A marginally significant group difference was observed in the task measuring spatial span (YA vs.

A marginal 4-way interaction was present that in post-hoc analyses appeared to be primarily driven by a weak trend for a difference in the amount of interference (neutral vs. incongruent) for the attended auditory task only.

While the first half of the prediction was confirmed, there were two qualifications: (a) the initial preference for the infant observer group was only marginally significant, and (b) this preference soon gave way to a collective preference for both the infant and adult COG image samples—that is, a preference for the real observer groups over the artificial observer groups.

Reducing the variance within the groups of patients and controls resulted in highly significant differences between patients and controls.

Discussion Participants with false intent showed a significantly lower blink count difference and lower number of blinks for the Explosive Intent questions as compared to the Drug Intent questions, with the difference in maximum blink duration approaching significance, as compared to participants with truthful intent.

Perhaps the most intriguing difference between single episode and cluster activation is present when Speaker F2 utters all speech material: in the single episode activation, familiar sentences yielded no statistically significant higher familiarity scores than novel sentences, while the difference is highly significant with cluster activation. 5.3.

In IAT 3, there was a marginally significant effect in the expected direction, suggesting that participant's associate triangle with yellow and square with red, as Kandinsky would have predicted.
