Duncan post-hoc analyses on visual-spatial working memory revealed that, in the Training-first Group (G1), delta 1 (M = 0.85, sem = 0.26) was significantly larger than delta 2 (M = −0.35, sem = 0.22; P < 0.01), with a very large effect (Cohen’s d = 1.21); in contrast, in the Waiting-first Group (G2), the difference between delta 1 (M = −0.19, sem = 0.30) and delta 2 (M = 0.34, sem = 0.25) was marginally significant (P = 0.05) and in the expected direction of a medium-sized improvement after training (Cohen’s d = 0.53).
