Excerpts

Note that effects of non-onset phonological overlap are very small and only marginally statistically significant (or not at all) even when all phonemes of a word are identical except the initial one (as in beaker vs. speaker, Allopenna et al., 1998 ; McQueen and Viebahn, 2007 ; McQueen and Huettig, in press , for discussion).

( 2004 ) and showed highly significant priming effects for derived and pseudo derived words, which, importantly, were statistically indistinguishable from each other as in the original study.

Indeed, ANOVA on the second slope measure yielded an only marginally significant interaction between age and congruency; we cannot be sure whether this lack of statistical significance is due to floor effects or to a true absence of interaction.

In contrast, beta values for friends and family sanctions, though modest and only marginally significant, were positive in sign, indicating that greater threats of social judgment, whether from friends or family, predicted greater likelihood of engaging in crime.

As we can observe in Table 3 , we have a main effect of payoff information condition, an almost significant effect of others' choice and three significant interaction effects.

Behaviorally, early bilinguals performed similar to natives (data from Díaz et al., 2011 ) in all sentence types, although they showed a trend toward poorer performance in the object-verb agreement violations.

For the object-verb agreement violations, both groups displayed a similar broad positivity between 150 and 350 ms that was followed by a broad negativity between 400 and 500 ms in late learners and by a marginally significant positivity between 700 and 900 ms in early bilinguals.

It follows that the framing effect is highly significant in group size 6 for the subset of participants that did not belong to sample S (hereafter sample S C ; p value is 0.000).

Imitation at T1, however, was only significantly correlated with word reading, although the correlation with SSL phonological awareness was also marginally significant.

Even though this effect was only marginally significant, and although there was only modest inter-rater agreement about the prediction of swinging, we believe that this effect is potentially important and as it pertains to a key aspect of the game – attempting to hit the ball – attests to the interpersonal power of emotions in natural settings.

An ANOVA on response times did only indicate faster response times for valid compared to invalid trials and the interaction with stimulation was only marginally significant.

The Egger test was only marginally significant in the peak of the red nucleus (4, -26, -6; see Supplementary Material).

In sum, when regarded on its own (i.e., not in comparison to the Unfairness-Undeservingness Model), the Hollowness-Undeservingness Model explains about 33% of Unacceptability , with the influence of Undeservingness being only marginally significant.

The results found no significant relation, or any relation approaching significance, between these two forms of time judgment.

Thus, the Pearson correlations for the accuracy scores turned out to be marginally significant.

The P600 effect was marginally significant in Training 2 for this condition.

As regards the context scale, for which the difference in the results of the pre- and post-treatment assessments was only close to significance, we noted that this scale has fewer items than the others, which means it is probably less reliable and effective in detecting improvements in performance (see Bosco et al., 2012a ).

In a review on social skills, Kurtz and Mueser (2008) reported that the average effect size of these interventions on psychosocial functioning is highly significant and consistent across studies, supporting the utility of social skills training in improving functional outcomes in these individuals, such as social adjustment and independent living.

The third result is the marginally significant interaction we found between Language and kind of Verb.

The remaining effects fell short of significance.

The tests used confirmed, that these differences in average were indeed highly significant since the critical levels were almost 0.

Since χ 2 statistic is a function of sample size, it is more likely to be significant with a large sample size ( Kline, 2011 ).

In the ROI below the meridian the difference between low-contrast offset and onset is marginally significant (uncorrected, see Table 2 ).

Musicians showed a significant (i.e., following Bonferroni correction) RT advantage in the analysis with lyricness as a factor, as well as RT and accuracy advantages that were significant or borderline significant prior to Bonferroni correction, in other analyses.

The only other effect of relevance was a marginally significant two-way interaction between 1-back and OSPAN group, showing a more pronounced RT sequential effect for the low OSPAN group (indicated by the difference between the red and purple lines in Figure 1 top for this group), F (1, 50) = 2.88, p < 0.10 (note that this would be significant in a directional test, which would be appropriate here).
