failed to reach significanceP = 0.08
The study 1 group had lower comprehension scores than the study 2 group, although it failed to reach significance ( P = 0.08), which was in agreement with a previous study showing reading comprehension between immediate and 30-minute delay was not significantly different with or without a noisy (interference) condition. 55 Another study, with much longer delay recall times over 24 hours, found that delayed time reduced reading comprehension scores. 56 Therefore, the 30-minute delay that occurred for the study 1 group in the current study did not significantly affect reading comprehension.
