Excerpts

Whereas the picture group showed a trend toward a task transfer when tested with objects that were unfamiliar, this effect was not noticeable in the object group.

Still, the direct test of significance was only marginally significant with the given sample size.

The risky choice was chosen more often in the H-SRP condition than in the L-SRP and M-SRP conditions, a highly significant difference that is particularly salient in the case of school comparisons.

After correction for multiple testing, one of the t -tests in each of the nine topographic clusters turned out significant [in the right central cluster with t (34) = −3.06, p adj = 0.036, r = 0.46], one marginally significant [in the right posterior cluster with t (34) = −2.86, p adj = 0.056, r = 0.44], and four more neighboring clusters still showed trends [left anterior cluster with t (34) = −2.42, p adj = 0.11, r = 0.38, mid anterior cluster with t (34) = −2.57, p adj = 0.09, r = 0.4, right anterior cluster with t (34) = −2.32, p adj = 0.11, r = 0.37, and mid central cluster with t (34) = −2.74, p adj = 0.07, r = 0.43], always with a larger negativity for sublexically negative high-arousing words.

Although, here again, we can only find a trend toward significance, in both analyses the postulated effect is of a medium size, which cannot be neglected (see discussion for why the effect might not be as strong as in previous literature).

T -tests within each of the three laterality clusters only showed a trend toward a difference between neutral low-arousing and negative high-arousing words in the left cluster [ t (34) = −2.17, p adj = 0.12, r = 0.35] with a larger negativity for negative high-arousing words.

In parallel, the authors did not mention, probably for publication deadline reasons, the results of a recent meta-analysis comprising 7 medium/high quality studies that revealed a highly significant increase in prevalence of cerebral hyperintense spots found with MRI in 98 out of 279 healthy divers (mainly professional) compared to 44 out of 232 non-diver controls (OR 2.65, 95% CI 1.71–4.39, p < 0.001; Connolly and Lee, 2015 ).

The fact that insight solutions were associated with higher accuracy and confidence compared to noninsight solutions, and also displayed a weak trend for shorter solution time, could be taken to support a discontinuous view.

Turning to accuracy rates, the effects of all three variables were significant or approached significance.

These correlations are highly significant for our understanding of the role for the dorsal visual stream in text reading, as discussed below.

Given the low correlation between SIAS and CFMT ( r = -0.177, p = 0.039) in the Australian sample, it is possible that the marginally significant result and the associated low effect size (explaining just above 3% of variance in the face recognition ability) is a false positive result.

In addition, the total score of grammatical and lexical categories correlates moderately (though only marginally significant) with the score on general vocabulary, as can be expected.

These results suggest that classification accuracy showed a trend with a steep increase in Block -2 that reached a plateau over Blocks -1 and 0, as shown in Figure 1 .

For the Prelude, there was also a marginally significant positive linear effect in Model 1, indicating that playing was faster at beginnings than at ends of phrases.

Switch costs were not modulated by the type of background cue either, although the interaction between language and cue type appeared to be trending toward marginal significance ( F > 1).

The main effect of Signed- Δ -Magnitude on Dominance was only near-significant due to the Šidàk correction.

The timing manipulations of Signed- Δ -Magnitude had a highly significant effect on Valence, Entrainment, Enjoyment , and Irritation .

For dual responders more than 50% of the participants who were of sub-average ability (below zero logits) selected this option, compared to approximately 50% for the non-attempters and a negative trend going below 50% for the completers.

The same correlation obtains if valence at the time of presentation of the lotteries is considered, although this effect is only marginally significant.

N250 A marginally significant Congruency × Language interaction was reported in the results of repeated measures ANOVAs at the time window 230-350 ms [ F (1,17) = 4.36, p = 0.052 < 0.1, η p 2 = 0.21].

The forest plot (Figure 7 ) provides a clear trend, in that all studies except one included demonstrated a significant negative relationship between goal withdrawal and performance.

(As can be seen from Figure 4 , when the age groups were assessed separately, this effect was only marginally significant in the older adults, and not in the young adults.) The interaction of response inhibition and age group was not significant in any of the parameters.

Treatment participants showed a trend toward greater improvement in emotional well-being compared to control participants.

However, the pattern is reversed compared to the regression of phonological awareness (broad): now the grammatical competencies are a significant predictor whereas the predictive effect of lexicon is only marginally significant.

There was a marginally significant difference by format in the relative duration of children’s positive emotions for the ML storybook, with relative duration directionally greater in the ML TS(HI) condition (median = 5.76%) than in the ML print condition (median = 1.68%; U = 35.00, p = 0.051, one-tailed).
