Moreover, a significant association between reading accuracy and steepness of the pre-test slope was observed, with reading fluency scores also approaching significance ( Table 3 ‘Pre-test slope’).

Finally, there was a trend toward significance for the interaction between expertise and DA (see Tables 1 , 2 and Figure 2 ).

Due to this, any noticeable difference seen in the following simulations can be assumed to be a highly significant difference across conditions.

However, due to the slightly smaller sample size, this small-to-medium correlation was only marginally significant in Experiment 2.

( 2013 ) observed that while retrieving negative words that had just been encoded, the PTSD group showed a trend toward increased left hippocampus activity compared to HC.

For negatively valenced images, CU traits were predictively ( b = -0.030, SE = 0.015, 95% CI [-0.059, 0.000], t = -1.928, p = 0.057) and concurrently ( b = -0.024, SE = 0.014, 95% CI [-0.052, 0.004], t = -1.668, p = 0.099) related to lower ratings of arousal with marginal significance.

There was, however, a marginally significant effect of sex of participant on self-ratings of arousal in a model including sex as predictor and self-ratings of arousal as outcome ( b = 0.232, SE = 0.123, 95% CI [-0.009, 0.472], t = 1.887, p = 0.062) with females ( M = 5.45, SD = 1.90) reporting higher levels of arousal than males ( M = 5.22, SD = 1.89).

Although the manipulation of difficulty level was only marginally significant, there was a possibility that the facilitation in the hard task was so immense that it reached the performance in the easy task.

This decrease was due mostly to a progressive diminution of the number of gazes made on non-target words, but was also linked to a shortening of the average duration of gazes that was, however, only marginally significant, probably because of the large variability of fifth graders’ gaze durations (see Figure 4 ).

Essentially, the 12 proposed equations showed adequate values as the Bland–Altman plot with the DXA reference method reflected narrow limits and highly significant correlation coefficients ( r = 0.78 to 0.94).

The problem that was succinctly expressed by Levy and Duke (2003) still exists: that many movement analysis systems are designed to gather easily quantified empirical evidence, skewing research to what is easily studied, rather than what might be significant, yet difficult to quantify for scientific analysis.

With regard to MSE across both the ab and ACME estimators, there were several practically significant main effects and interactions.

PW: F (1, 38) = 5.6, p = 0.023, partial-ƞ 2 = 0.13) and by the nearly significant interaction between Stimulus and Task (HFW vs.

If on the one hand, 50 different T-patterns were detected in subjects under standard diet, on the other hand, 703 different T-patterns were discovered in animals under hyperglycidic treatment, with a highly significant increase of mean lengths and a significant reduction of mean occurrences of T-patterns.

However, when predicting negative affect, acceptance significantly attenuated the effect of the ambivalence manipulation on negative affect and a marginal trend for awareness to enhance the effect of the ambivalence manipulation on negative affect.

(2013) , our results revealed a decreasing trend in patient performance in managing the different pragmatic tasks investigated, including sincere, deceitful, and ironic communicative acts in both comprehension and production on both the linguistic and extralinguistic scales of the ABaCo ( Angeleri et al., 2012 ).

The patients with schizophrenia also exhibited an increasing trend of difficulty in comprehending and producing sincere, deceitful, and ironic communicative acts expressed through either linguistic or extralinguistic means.

Although, in each of the three brain structures, more than 300 genes showed nominally significant left-right differences in their expression patterns, none survived correction for multiple testing.

However, this interaction between grammaticality and adjective choice was only marginally significant ( t = −1.95).

There is no “objective” indicator for the extent of difference required to be deemed “non-trivial.” Therefore, we followed the guideline that effect size benchmarks for “practically significant” effects should be determined based on evidence from the specific research context (Hill et al., 2008 ; Keefer et al., 2013 ).

The three-way interaction (Numeral group × Congruency × Stage) was approaching significance.

These data indicate very strong differences across listeners on usage of some of the parameters, namely highly significant differences in the correlations between different listeners’ judgments and the parameters Max Pitch (f 0 ), Spectral Ratio, Spectral Mean, Spectral Dispersion (SD), Periodicity and Number of Regimes.

The resulting model was highly significant (Model 3a in Table 5 ) and showed that Rhythm Perception, Synchronization and verbal memory significantly predicted phonological awareness, while non-verbal ability did not [ Beta = -0.04 , t (27) = -0.03, n.s.] and hence it was dropped.

All nine BRIEF-A subscales had moderate to strong and highly significant correlations with the ASRS-6 score ( Supplementary Table S3 ).

(2009) whom reported that low socially anxious participants displayed more pro-social behavior after rejection, whereas HSAs showed a trend toward less pro-social behavior.
