Excerpts

( 2008 ) found that children who interacted with computers during their intervention time using Fast ForWord-Language or computer-assisted language intervention (CALI), fared as well as children who received one-to-one individual language intervention with a certified SLP or academic enrichment, all of whom made highly significant improvements on standardized language measures.

We computed four a priori contrasts, of which only significant or marginally significant contrasts are reported.

The cross-correlation between head-on-trunk and TR was highly significant and negative in both 8-year-olds (median r = −0.73, Q 1 = −0.95, Q 3 = 0.02) and adults (median r = −0.93, Q 1 = −0.97, Q 3 = −0.76).

Notably, the variable representing cognitive ability was not even close to significance.

Strictly speaking, this should be considered statistically not relevant as the related main effect was approaching but not reaching significance.

However, there was a nominally significant difference in the strength of conspiracist beliefs about Kampusch between Time Point 1 ( M = 3.72, SE = 0.09) and Time Point 2 ( M = 3.45, SE = 0.10), although the effect size was small, F (1, 524) = 3.98, p = 0.046, η 2 p = 0.01.

To interpret this marginally significant 3-way interaction, separate ANOVAs with factors of response hand and target side were conducted for each hand posture.

( 2012 ) looked at long-term convergence in a small sample of college roommates, and found a marginally significant correlation between self-reported closeness and amount of convergence.

Yet individual differences may be significant.

While arousal effects were only marginally significant in the P200 component, the LPC seems to be robustly modulated by both the arousal and emotion dimension though no interaction between the two factors was observed (c.f., Leite et al., 2012 for similar finding when participants had to view pictures).

Such genetic biases would generally act as cultural attractors over relatively large time periods, so the increased time-window for language history suggests that there may be significant numbers of such effects yet to be discovered.

When education and vocabulary were controlled, the group differences remained virtually unchanged for the self-report measures, but became only marginally significant for the BWP.

Discussion The results of the two-stream RSVP with the standard series of distractors showed, as expected, a clear-cut LVF advantage in T2 identification, while T1 was identified equally well in both VFs, with a small trend to a RVF advantage.

Results Descriptive statistics are provided in Table 1 , which shows that male participants had higher scores on the PPI-R total and factor scores, as well as a statistical trend for higher scores on the SPQ Interpersonal factor.

By contrast to lack of cue/task effects or between-group difference in degree of alpha reduction across groups, there were highly significant effects of these parameters on beta ERD during the same evaluation latency range.

In fact, there was a marginally significant association between more mind-wandering on the MWQ and better reading comprehension among high school students (though not in the middle school sample).

Moreover, the effects of mothers' age and occupational status on the preference for reactive sensitivity were marginally significant.

However the tendency itself would also explain why there is an overall trend toward finding higher imagery across the body of literature as a whole (e.g., Barnett and Newell, 2008 ; Spiller and Jansari, 2008 ; Meier and Rothen, under review).

In the regression analysis where the possible confounding variables were controlled for, the visuospatial test was only marginally significant predictor of the Scale subtest.

Furthermore, the results showed an expected trend of increase in intertemporal decision making at retest suggesting that intertemporal decision making benefited from repeated task exposure.

A main effect of Belief condition revealed a non-significant trend, F (1, 23) = 2.958, p = 0.099, indicating that anti-free will participants tended to be slower to respond than controls (though this interpretation should be approached with caution due to the marginal significance level).

Results indicated a trend toward significant recruitment above baseline for actively learned letters in the left fusiform gyrus [ t (11) = 2.02, p = 068] (Figure 7A ) and right fusiform gyrus [ t (11) = 1.98, p = 0.073], (Figure 7B ) but no other contrasts approached significance.

Although, the associations between these parameters and performance only approached significance, estimated values of these same parameters had basically no relationship with performance in the EV Decay ( r = −0.04 for w ) and PVL Decay models ( λ = 0.05, where the tendency to select options based on their expected values is conflated with the tendency to persevere.

The categorical associations of each of these methods of determining hemisity with each other and with asymmetry of the vgACC were highly significant (Morton and Rafto, 2010 ).

As expected, both the Grammaticality effect and the Interference effect are highly significant, and the interaction between Interference and CS scores is also significant.
