Differences in idea flexibility (range of idea categories) and idea originality (novelty of ideas) also favored the no real-time feedback condition, though these were marginally significant ( p = 0.078 and p = 0.067, respectively).

Furthermore, bootstrapping analysis (5000 resamples) yielded confidence intervals that did not include zero, confirming that the observed performance differences are robust and practically significant despite the sample size constraints.
